Immediately after the blue poppy fields, the wetland biotope begins. Eight ponds run consecutively along the Klingengraben canal. Wetlands are systems in ecological balance and represent the primordial cells of an intact natural environment. They typically contain a standing body of water, which can also dry out, a silting zone with diverse life for pioneer species of flora and fauna, a riparian zone, and are separated from other areas of the field by a transition zone, often wet meadows and hedges. The standing body of water can be a pool, a pond, or a lake. It has biocenosis connections to surrounding flowing waters, which form the migration routes of living organisms. These connections can occasionally be water-bearing ditches, but can also simply be animal migration routes, as in the case of the well-known amphibian migration routes.

Habitat type: Wet meadows, a protected landscape feature. The wetland biotope is an oasis for plants and animals that are doomed to extinction in the surrounding intensively used agricultural landscape: yellow irises, primroses, dragonflies, smooth newts, and countless other microorganisms. Maintenance: Two-thirds of the meadows are mown in summer. The remaining third serves as a refuge for fauna. https://fuerth-land.bund-naturschutz.de/fileadmin/kreisgruppen/fuerthland/HTML-Biotope/biotop_Klingenwasen.html
