Biotope for Rare Toads
Highlight • Natural
The habitats consist of small, shallow pools and temporary ponds, often in open, sunny locations. These simple water features are particularly important for species like the yellow-bellied toad and the midwife toad, which lay their eggs in warm, fishless water. Because these ponds can dry up periodically, predators have little chance, increasing the survival chances of larvae. Around the ponds, stony subsoil, loose bottoms, and shelters made of wood and stones provide ideal conditions for resting, hunting, and overwintering.
What makes these habitats particularly special is that they are part of a continuous network of habitats. This allows the toads to move between breeding grounds and habitats, which is crucial for maintaining healthy populations. The area's management focuses on maintaining openness, removing excessive vegetation, and creating new ponds when old ones disappear. This keeps the landscape dynamic, precisely what these amphibians need.
For visitors to the Wurmtal, these biotopes are usually not immediately noticeable, but they form a quiet, fragile world right next to hiking trails and nature reserves. Information panels and conservation measures emphasize the importance of tranquility and respect for nature. The biotopes for rare toads demonstrate how careful nature management can contribute to biodiversity and how even small landscape elements can be vital to the survival of endangered species.
