The pond in the Holmer Sandbergen was once created through sand mining. Later, an additional shallow water zone expanded the area. There are no inflows such as streams. Therefore, only rainwater or upper groundwater-bearing soil layers feed the pond. Climate change has become particularly evident in the last three years. The summers had very little precipitation, but at the same time the high temperatures resulted in heavy evaporation. The water level dropped sharply. https://regionalpark-wedeler-au.de/aktuelles-ganzer-artikel/naturschutzmassnahme-am-in-den-holmer-sandbergen

The Holmer Sandberge are located in the Pinneberg district in Schleswig-Holstein between the municipalities of Appen (Appen-Etz district), Holm and the town of Wedel. The Holmer Sandberge are former dunes on the edge of the former glacial valley of the Elbe. They are now forested and are characterized by a rich flora and fauna. The Holmer Sandberge are a landscape protection area and are included in the Natura 2000 network in accordance with the Habitats Directive and are also used for local recreation. In addition, the dune sand landscape is also designated as a geotope. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmer_Sandberge
