Upper Kammerweiher

Highlight • Lake

Enjoy peace and quiet, observe animals with an observatory - otherwise a bit overgrown, which is good for the wildlife.

Kammerweiher Bird-Watching Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the end of 2008, the Bund Naturschutz set up a viewing pulpit on the dam between the ponds, from which one can easily observe life on the large water surfaces. From this bird viewing tower you have a very nice overview of both ponds. In addition to the view, there is also a blog where you can register. With patience and binoculars, you can observe many of the 60 different bird species identified by the BUND.

Kammerweiher Ponds

Highlight • Lake

historical overview

The BN looks after the Kammerweiher at Auerbach since 1980. They are located in the nature reserve "Pegnitzaue between Ranna and Michelfeld."

Importance of the chamber pond for the protection of species

Wildlife surveys carried out by the Federal Nature Conservation Agency in 2002 identified more than 60 different bird species, including 16 endangered Red List species alone. Many birds use the large bodies of water as a resting place and feeding ground on the passage. In late summer, we lower the ponds to provide mudflats for the waders (Limikolen).
Of the seven amphibian species found here, the extremely rare species of frog deserve special mention. In the shallow water areas of the Kammerweiher, as well as the Erlenbruchgebiete the Pegnitzaue find frogs, newts, toads and toads good development opportunities.
The grass snake lives here as well as many dragonflies (25 species were found) that are on the Red List.

Amphibious habitats on the shore areas, such. B. Großseggenrieder, Schrefröhricht or alder quarry forests, are important components in the ecosystem of natural ponds.

conservation measures

In order to optimize the habitat conditions for the animal world, it is important to set a water level in the annual cycle, which allows the development of siltation zones, but on the other hand does not lead to the growth of the water surface. The fish stock must be regulated by regular fishing so that enough fish are available for food, and on the other hand, the offspring of the amphibians (spawning and tadpoles that feed the fish) have a chance of survival. The extensive management of the ponds is the prerequisite for preserving and increasing biodiversity.

Kammerweiher in the Pegnitzaue Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

The chamber ponds (upper and lower) and the entire NSG Pegnitzaue are one of the few wetlands in the arid northern Franconian Alb, which is of fundamental importance for species protection. They are part of the Ranna drinking water protection area. Various information boards are set up around the ponds.

Antonius Chapel and Fischstein Memorial

Highlight • Religious Site

It's actually called the Fischstein chapel. Fischstein was once a village and Eisenhammer an der Pegnitz, first mentioned in 1326 and dissolved from 1960 to 1991. The small chapel used to be the center of the entire village, but nowadays it stands completely alone. It was renovated a few years ago and is lovingly cared for by former residents of the village and often visited by them and by many walkers. Exactly when the chapel was built is unknown. In any case, the pretty chapel will have stood here for several centuries. weber-rudolf.de/fischstein.htm
