Explorer Route - A Sea of Reeds

The reed belt

Although basically only one plant grows in the 180 km² reed belt, it is nevertheless diverse and rich in structure. Flooded and dry areas, dense reeds and open water areas, young and old reed stands - this is what makes up the reed belt. More than 35 bird species breed in the reed belt and a wide variety of fish species, amphibians, countless aquatic insects and small crustaceans cavort here.
