The Aalkistensee nature reserve extends over the entire surface of the lake and beyond. The area stretches east along the Salzach to the federal highway 35; in the south to the railway line of the Westbahn. The 50.5 hectare area (protected area number 2,042) was placed under protection by decree of December 21, 1979 and is assigned to the natural area of the Kraichgau and Stromberg-Heuchelberg. The conservation of the lake with the various wetlands and hillside zones surrounding it in their uniqueness, diversity and beauty was named as an essential protective purpose, whereby the worthiness of protection, in addition to the supra-regional importance as a breeding and resting place for birds and as amphibian spawning waters, is based on the importance of the area as a Habitat of species-rich plant and animal communities and the importance of the lake as the location of large reed beds, in its shore area as a growth site for endangered plant species such as tambourine and marsh groundsel.

Margrave Karl Wilhelm von Baden had this fish pond created. A path leads once around the lake and is a good option for a digestive walk after a stop.
