April 19, 2025, Bat Trail at Burkarder See

A beautiful, idyllic little green space around Lake Burkard in the heart of the city center. There are information panels about bats around the small lake, where you can learn a lot. You can even listen to bat calls from a column.

The Schwemmsee is a wetland biotope and natural monument in the Höchberg forest. The body of water is located in a depression (334 m above sea level) west of Höchberg in the municipal forest. The Schwemmsee is a stop on the Höchberg forest nature trail and can also be reached from the New Cemetery car park about 200 meters to the northeast. The Schwemmsee probably formed in the last ice age from an ice lens in the ground: an ice lens is a raised area of the ground that occurs when there is frost and the ground is cohesive. The reason for this is the capillary effect, which makes it possible to transport groundwater from a depth of up to 50 m to the frost penetration depth (between 20 and 120 cm in winter in Germany). The water collects there, freezes and raises the ground. Since the groundwater is constantly replenished, the ice accumulations and the raised areas above them become larger and larger. The forest pond has been designated a natural monument since March 25, 1938. [2] The protected area has an area of about 1500 m². The lake provides a habitat for numerous animals. (Würzburg Wiki)

The Blutseemoor near Kist is a nature reserve in the Irtenberger Forest, which is part of the fauna-flora-habitat areas (FFH). It is known for its swinging lawn, which is the largest in Lower Franconia and floats on an underground body of water. The name Blutsee comes from a type of algae that sometimes turns the water red. The moor is not allowed to be entered as it is life-threatening.

The forest pond is particularly protected as a natural monument. The alluvial lake offers a habitat for numerous animals, including the dragonfly (Anisoptera) and the pond newt (Triturus vulgaris). The natural monument is characterized by a swinging lawn with cattails, sedges, field mint, purple loosestrife, rushes, loosestrife and the rare water fennel. The yellow iris blooms on the banks from May to July. In contrast to the Bauernsee, the Schwemmsee rarely dries out.

The pond is often colored green by duckweed and is a real frog paradise. Around the pond you will find mystical rocky landscapes, including a small bridge. There is also a hidden, open moat leading to the pond.

Beautiful, quiet place in the middle of the forest. A bench invites you to linger. You should take the path around the moor on foot and be considerate of nature.
