Charlottenhofer Weihergebiet, Nature reserve in Schwandorf district, Germany
Description

History
The area was protected in 1988 to preserve the remains of historical ponds that had been partly destroyed by brown coal mining. This action was needed to safeguard the remaining water bodies and their natural functions.

The wetland area serves as a place where visitors can watch birds and animals in their natural surroundings. Local people value it as a destination for peaceful walks and wildlife observation.
Practical
The reserve is accessible through several marked trails that lead through different areas. Information panels along the routes explain the ecosystems and show which animals and plants live there.
