The Aartal reservoir was created in the 1990s for flood protection. It is mainly divided into 2 parts, with the forebay serving as a nature reserve. Thus, a huge protected area has been created here for all birds that like to stay in and around the water. Especially since the lake has the second largest water surface in Hesse.
