In 2014, it was awarded the label Regional Nature Reserve. It is a public safety structure for the regulation of the Schwarzbach river and thus prevent flooding in the old town. Its water surface covers almost 16 hectares. Today it is a popular hiking area with its 2.4 km circuit and the health trail. Apart from fishing on its front part, any other activity is strictly forbidden: hunting, swimming, canoeing, camping.
