description

The Ampflwanger Bach is a natural, freely meandering body of water with a rich flora and fauna, which, however, has been increasingly suffering from the influences of agriculture in the region for several years. The Ampflwanger Bach is one of the most water-rich tributaries of the Vöckla. Its sediments carried along consist mainly of sand and fine pebbles. Some fish use it as a spawning area, and numerous young fish grow up in it. In its small alluvial forests, which have not been afforested with spruce, sycamore maple , ash and field elm dominate . Many species of birds breed in the alluvial forests of the stream, including the kingfisher. The fauna of the alluvial forest includes otters, ermines, stone marten, red fox and beaver but also neophytes such as swamp beaver and bearded tit.
