The waterlogged areas at the Bagbander Tief near the mouth of the Sautel Canal provide a habitat for numerous animal and plant species thanks to their rich structural diversity. In addition to the water, you'll find tall herbaceous vegetation, reed beds, and woody vegetation, which provide breeding and feeding habitats for rare species such as the wood sandpiper, the kingfisher, and the banded demoiselle.
