In the reed beds, reeds with interspersed broad and narrow-leaved cattails dominate. A special feature is the occurrence of the reed nettle , which has almost reached its western limit here . Crab claw and frog-bite communities occur in the drainage ditches to the west of the lake . On the Gütschow, a 39.6-meter-high elevation, old pines as well as schiller and silver grass fields are predominant. Furthermore, arable land and extensively managed fen meadows can be found in the nature reserve. The fen meadows are predominantly characterized by cabbage thistle meadows and large sedge meadows .
