Nature reserve

The Hirschberg and Heidweiher ponds in the Gabellohe is a Nature reserve near Immenreuth in the Upper Palatinate District of Tirschenreuth in Bavaria.

The nature reserve is located 3 kilometres southwest of Immenreuth. It is part of the Haidenaabtal and Gabellohe FFH area.

The 28-hectare area is the eastern part of a large protected area complex, the majority of which is located in Upper Franconia (Haidenaabtal and Gabellohe nature reserve). The protected area essentially comprises wetland habitat types with endangered animal groups and as such is of supra-regional importance. It offers the local birdlife a habitat with necessary food sources and breeding opportunities. This area is home to numerous Succession stages of siltation and bog formation.

The nature reserve was designated on 20 August 1982.

Forest and water

We get our water from our own spring. It is low in limescale and tastes excellent.
