Descripción

The Ilmenau Ponds (Ilmenauer Teiche) are an ecologically rich wetland area of 6 ponds and one of the largest natural wetland habitats in the region. Originally created in the 14th century for fish farming. Today, the area is protected as a nature reserve. The pond area is also used for recreation. There is a zoo as well as a park-like section of the shore of the biggest pond (Großer Teich). On the foundation of the former diving tower, a bird hide was built in the pond. There is also a boat rental at the Großer Teich.

The pond complex is important as a breeding area for many waterfowl, but the ponds also serve as a resting place for migratory birds. Birds you can observe include Porrón Europeo, Porrón Moñudo, Rascón Europeo, Carricero Políglota, Carricero Tordal, Martín Pescador Común, Zampullín Común, Cuervo Grande, Milano Real, Curruca Capirotada, Curruca Mosquitera, Zorzal Real and Cuco Común. In winter Porrón Osculado and Serreta Grande can show up.
