Bommer Weiher, Protected lake system in Kemmental, Switzerland.

The Bommer Weiher consists of multiple interconnected fish ponds spanning 15 hectares at an elevation of 530 meters in Thurgau canton.

Established in 1460, these ponds initially served as water reservoirs and fish breeding grounds before evolving into a natural reserve.

The site represents traditional Swiss water management practices, with three distinct ownership sections divided among Pro Natura Thurgau, Canton Thurgau, and private holders.

Visitors can reach Bommer Weiher by taking the S-Bahn to Siegershausen station, followed by a 30-minute walk through the countryside.

The ponds support 10,000 common toads, tree frogs, thread snakes, bitterlings, water rails, reed buntings, marsh warblers, and beaver populations.
