The pond area
The final protected as a nature reserve in 2000 " Dreba - Plothener pond area " one of the most scenic and natural history of beads beautiful Thuringian Slate Mountains / Upper Saale. The largest contiguous pond area in Thuringia Thuringia is a unique and significant wetland in Europe not only because of its diversity and its beauty. In addition to the very interesting marine life, the area also characterize many rare animal and plant species. For example, come up with frog and newt here two specially protected amphibian species. The Little Lily has a significant spread in Germany focus in the extensively managed ponds. For the endangered bog frog here is one of the last refuges. The vegetation was determined prior to influence by humans mainly by dense alder swamp and alder forests. The now dominant spruce came at the time, apart from pronounced ridge lines, rare. At higher altitudes, there were pine forests among which beeches, spruces and oaks were in part. Over the centuries, the water landscape was changing. The remnants of abandoned ponds can still be seen today by sinks, willows, Seggenrieder or radicals decayed pond and dam systems. On the whole, the landscape profile can be characterized as a close integration of areas of open water, shallow water and silting areas with woods, fields, ponds and meadows, between which the remains of swamp forest vegetation, small-area flat and intermediate marsh areas and wet meadows are interspersed. The ponds are valuable nutrient-poor and moderately nutrient-rich, base- poor standing waters, which are among their silting vegetation and bog formation, to the now very rare habitats for birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and plants. Only here are threatened or endangered with extinction as Moor Frog, Tree Frog, White and Black Stork, harlequin Dragonfly Banded Darter or moderlieschen currently so often. The large space is managed agricultural and forestry land in the region are here interrupted by a very humid local climate ( microclimate ). Therefore, occur in the pond area on very many species that are accustomed to a rich rain subatlantisches and thus western European climate. These include deer elder, fox cal ragwort, resin bedstraw and the Southern water hose, a described in greater detail hereinafter " carnivorous plant. " In this subatlantischen milieu thrive species that are normally spread from Mecklenburg over Brandenburg down to the Lower Lusatia.
Desertions
Where the road to Weira reached its highest point, was replacing today's high container long ago a village called " Schierlitz " with a provost of Saalfeld monastery. But when the pastor moved its headquarters to return and goats in Weira a parish church was built, now Neunhofen and Weira moved into a place of Schierlitz that went with the provost related income and the place. The story is documented undetectable. On the road from Knauer after Dreba are at the height of the basins of the fishing breeding operation left hand still ruins to be seen. There, the complex was constructed in 1753 " Hendelsmühle " was. The mill was powered directly from Hendelsteichabfluss and Drebabach. His feed is the Kolmesbach from the field of Kolmse, especially from the Sorbian " Kholm " - derived hill. The mill turned her work until after the Second World War and was in 1968/69 demolished. Between the villages Plothen and Linda the Büchigt lies with a pond, called Hiel, - Hollen or hell pond. Among his deep black waters of Sage rested after the lost " village blood." Peal, deep coming out of the earth, should reverberate at certain times of the corridor. At this place it is " not right." No one liked to go to the night time there over. Documentary evidence of this legendary deserted so far were not found. The Kept calibration is just 100 meters from the highest point of the plateau ( 511m ). It urges here on the suspicion of a pre-Christian relevance to Mother Holle and the underworld. Perhaps this refers to the 1817 mentioned corridor part " desert Blöthe " on the former village blood.
