Description The ponds have natural embankments, which unfortunately slump continually into the ponds over time. The existing slopes also promote the successful hunt of the herons, by way of having such an easy access to feeding. This work is a prerequisite for continually successful trout-farming.



Direction Johannes Loriz, Rolf Reisiger



Picturesque but problematic: the big pond. The embankments are washed away by water and gradually disappear into the pond. The result is a cumulative flattening of the upper area and a build-up of mud on the already-existing bed. The intended use of the pond for trout-farming is only possible after embankment fortification.
