A "chilling place" with 2 beautiful wooden loungers - the jetty photos don't fit here at all (pictures of Alm-Stegen). There is only a small wooden footbridge on the north side of the pond.

In the municipality of Redlham, gravel has been mined intensively for decades. The resulting change in the landscape has developed into a new habitat for many plants and animals in recent years, but also with its numerous lakes into a popular local recreation area for many people in the area. Under the leader region of Vöckla Ager, the circular paths were resurfaced, benches and boards were set up and an artificial island was anchored in one of the ponds. This year, a large bathing lake is also to be built next to the Hoffmann Areal, thus expanding the range of leisure activities in this area as well. The path close to the Ager also always offers interesting insights into nature and can be combined with 2 circular paths across the ponds. These include exotic species such as a pair of Egyptian gooses and seagulls. One of the lakes is home to around 20 tufted ducks. The many cormorants move between the lakes. Like the goosanders, they need fresh fish every day for their meal. The beavers are nocturnal, you can only see their work on the fallen trees around the ponds. Many gray herons can also be seen. Like the Great Egret, they are extremely shy and keep a large flight distance. With a bit of luck, you can also see all kinds of songbirds and woodpeckers in the adjacent alluvial forests. These include the rare long-tailed tits, which are already building their nests at an early age. Large herds of deer are hiding on the fields above and the red kite, which has just returned from the south, is circling above their heads. For food, however, it needs small animals such as mice or sick rabbits, but will also eat carrion if necessary. A visit to the adventure area gravel pond in Redlham is always a beautiful nature experience and not only interesting for photographers.

The perfect way to take a break along the Roman Cycle Path. There are several small, tranquil bathing spots along the shore. Here, nature still seems to be undisturbed.
