Schwarzes Wasser, Special area of conservation in Wesel and Hamminkeln, Germany.
The black water lake resides within the dune landscape of Diersfordter Forest, featuring peat moss communities on its eastern side and sedges on the western bank.
The protected area received its conservation status in 1936, marking it as one of the oldest nature reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia with specific regulations.
Local nature conservation associations implemented a biotope management plan in the 1980s, removing pine reforestation to promote native vegetation growth.
The protected site features a 6.5-kilometer circular trail with observation points, accessed through parking facilities near the water body in Hamminkeln.
The water appears dark due to humic substances from moor vegetation, creating a nutrient-poor environment that supports specialized plant and animal species.
