Biotope "Vahrner Seemoor"
Water, Flora & Fauna
Biotope "Vahrner Seemoor"
The south of Lake Vahrn is overgrown with reeds and has been a protected biotope since 1977. Countless fish and other animals use the lake as a habitat. Frogs croak, dragonflies buzz, birds sing all around and other rare animals populate the surrounding forest. The extensive reed belt including the siltation zone forms a necessary ecological compensation area for flora and fauna and for the self-purification power of the water body.
Quiet zone
Quiet zone
The southern water and wetland area is a quiet zone with extensive reed, cattail and sedge stands as well as water plants with rich insect, amphibian and bird fauna: important also for the natural renewal of the fish population! Especially the reed plants have a water purifying effect, as they secrete bactericidal substances.
Animals in the pond
Animals in the pond
Ponds house a biologically highly productive microcosm of aquatic plants and animals in a very small space. This is why numerous land animals, bats and birds also find rich prey here. Since floodplains and streams with natural ponds have become rare, newly created ponds in the garden or in the cultivated landscape quickly become home to many endangered small animals and allow interesting observations of the development of life.
