Wetland biotope "Eisweiher" The area around the pond is beautiful and the pond is currently well filled with water. As its name suggests, the ice used to be broken in winter for cooling purposes. "Eisweiher is a generic term for smaller, usually relatively shallow bodies of still water that freeze quickly in a favorable location and with appropriate weather conditions. They are of natural origin or were created specifically for use." (Source: Wikipedia)
