Geocache Description:

What a surprise! A huge biotope in the middle of a large forest.
You never would expect such a place when you don't know it is there.

Applicable for young children (but watch for them at the lake, it is not very deep, but water is always a little bit dangerous ;-) )

you can take a little rest here: N47°45.555' E16°11.230'
One possible parking place is at "Waldschule" on the route to restplace

Easy to reach from the A2 Highway.


thanks to M.W. for this nice picture
Das Biotop wurde in den Jahren 1990/1991 von der Forstverwaltung Wiener Neustadt errichtet (Kosten damals: rund 2 Mio Schilling). This biotope was built up by the forest management of Wiener Neustadt in 1990/1991. (Costs were about 2 million Schillings (~ 150.000 Euros))
Das Biotop dient zur Klimaverbesserung sowie als Löschteich. It is used for improving the climate and as a fire water pond.
Es hat eine Größe von 14.000 Quadratmeter und eine Tiefe von 20 cm bis 4 Meter. The biotope is about 14.000 square metres in size and has a maximum depth of 4 metres.
Es ist vom Land NÖ als Biotop gewidmet und wird vom sogenannten "Rehbachl" gespeist. It is devoted as a "biotope" by the district of Lower Austria and it is fed by the so called "Rehbachl". (translated: sth. like deer/doe-creek)
Das Biotop ist zu Fuß erreichbar und somit auch ein Naherholungsgebiet für die Bevölkerung (Baden, Eislaufen, etc. ist aber verboten!). You can reach the biotope within walking distance and can be used as a close recreation area for the citicens (but bathing, ice skating, etc.. prohibited)
Thanks to Mr. Iwanschitz from PR bureau of Wr. Neustadt for this information.
