Our project group used
the time there to work on its environmental topics.
The water reservoir
“Luetsche” is a perfect example of balanced relationship between
human use and the protection of landscape and nature.
The dam and the
associated reservoir is 1 km long, about 200 m wide and covers
an area of about 14 hectare (ha).
Two streams (“Loeffelbuehlgraben”
and “Langer Grund Bach” flow through two adjoining valleys and
supply the reservoir.
First it is a favourite
excursion destination that is quite easily reached by bicycle,
motorbike, car or by foot. The nice composite next to the lake
shore is a great place to relax and to enjoy nature beauties
around.
Going by boat, going
fishing, swimming, diving and sailing are possible there.
Second it is an area
where various animal species live, for example the fire
salamander, the trout and rare plant can be found.
The lake is surrounded
by coniferous trees (96% are spruce trees). So nature
conservation plays an important role like everywhere in
Thuringia.
