Unfortunately, the columnar poplars have fallen victim to the heat or the bark beetle! Only bare, dry trees remain...

The landscape protection area around the "Ellertshäuser See", the largest lake in Lower Franconia, consists mainly of forest areas with near-natural deciduous-coniferous mixed forest with a high proportion of deciduous trees. Due to the renaturation of the southwestern inflow (Sauerquellenbach), rare plant species (e.g. marsh grasses) and amphibians have been able to spread. Reed beds grow in the sedimentation zones and meadowsweet tall herbs can also be found. The landscape protection area also offers an optimal retreat for wildlife. Rare bird species, such as great crested grebes, tufted ducks and coots, have found a habitat here. In addition, various species of dragonflies and a large population of common toads, common frogs, and alpine newts and great crested newts can be found. (Schweinfurter Oberland)
