Tips from the Community
The Kaltentalweiher wetland was designed in the 1976 nature conservation year as a contribution by the Baden-Württemberg State Forestry Administration to the "Protection of European Wetlands" program and was created between 1977 and 1979. In an elongated oval, the wetland with its natural bays blends harmoniously into the floodplain. Even the main dam is so cleverly hidden in a shallow embankment that it does not disturb the natural landscape. The pond is about 300 meters long and 80 meters wide. Without the small island, its water surface is about 1.1 hectares. Many rare animal species have settled in the wetland. An excellent observation area has been created here for those interested in zoology and biology. Behind the large pond, there is a smaller pond through which the Kaltentalbach stream flows into the large pond. The Kaltentalbach originates from a karst spring, the Kaltentalquelle.
