Beschrijving

The lake "Dümmer" is a 16 km² big lake and is with a average depth of 1,5 m very shallow. This makes the lake itself a very good habitat for all kinds of resting waterfowl, with thousands of geese and ducks. On areas of waterlilies Zwarte Stern can breed. The reedbeds around the lake are breeding habitat for e.g. Bruine Kiekendief, Roerdomp and Snor and following willow shrubs for Blauwborst and Nachtegaal. After the last Ice Age the lake was much bigger, but mires grew around it and provide beautiful meadows today. They inhabit one of the last big populations of breeding Grutto, Watersnip, Wulp, Kwartelkoning and Kievit, by a very well water management on meadows. About one of the last breeding pairs of Kemphaan in Germany is speculated here nearly every year.
