Jungferweiher, Protected area in Ulmen, Germany
Description
Jungferweiher is a protected natural area near Ulmen featuring a large lake ringed by reed beds and wetland zones. The site provides habitat for numerous bird species and aquatic plants in a setting shaped by water management.
History
The site was created by damming Ulmener Bach in the early 20th century to serve as a drinking water reservoir. Before this transformation, the land had been used for fish farming and peat harvesting.
