Lake Erlach is currently the last refuge for amphibians in the Oberwald. The previously declining amphibian population was counteracted by the targeted design of the water body. Here they find a habitat that the floodplain landscape of the Rhine had offered them since time immemorial, before human cultivation destroyed it.

A wetland biotope created by humans - individual sections were designed to meet the needs of different animal species 👍👏 Beautiful view of the lake and many birds from the observation point (a protected shelter with viewing slits). Circuit around the lake approx. 2 km.

Great, rustic and sometimes adventurous path to the observation point. If the wood gets wet you have to be careful. It then quickly becomes slippery.
