nature and environment

The crumbs Bach is like Schwarzenbach low not dirty up by sound. In earlier samples, however, the value for ammonium - nitrogen (NH 4 -N) was classified as high and the phosphorus load as very high. In crumbs stream can often be brown trout surveys. In addition, a weir with a dam was built near Staudt to prevent flooding, such as in 1978, when major damage occurred. The floodplain between Staudt and Wirges is used as a flood basin.
