Pruning at the Kurpark pond: care for nature and wildlife!
In the Lüneburg spa park, pruning work is planned for 2026 to protect animals and improve visibility.
Pruning at the Kurpark pond: care for nature and wildlife!
The pond in the spa park is one of the most popular places for locals and guests. Covering an area of around 3,000 square meters, it not only offers a relaxing backdrop, but also a habitat for numerous animals. In order to preserve this idyll, regular care and pruning work is essential. Uelzener Presse reports that the next cuts are planned for the beginning of 2026.
The focus of the measures is primarily on the black alders and the blackberries that grow around the pond. Although these plant species are important for the natural order of the area, they can affect the pond's function as a habitat. The aim of the pruning work is clear: the vegetation should be regulated in order to create visual axes and reduce water loss through the black alders.
Preserve diversity in the spa park
The spa park is maintained by the municipal depot in accordance with the park maintenance guidelines. Particular emphasis is placed on garden monument preservation, nature conservation and the different uses of the spa park. Bad Homburg describes that since 1990 around 50% of the meadows have been extensively cared for, which has positive effects on plant diversity. The first mowing times on these areas begin in June and last every four weeks.
The combination of natural design and well-thought-out care concepts, such as species-appropriate pruning of the bushes, ensures that the spa park not only remains visually appealing, but that numerous animal species also find a suitable habitat. Ducks use the hiding places provided by the herbaceous growth and reeds. The plants also provide overwintering places for insects and amphibians, thereby promoting biological diversity.
A meeting place
The aim of sustainable park maintenance in the spa park is not only to preserve and network diverse landscapes for the local flora and fauna, but also to promote people's joy of life and health. Kurpark Pyrmont highlights that the spa park is considered one of the oldest spa parks in the region and attracts around 200,000 visitors every year with its intensively designed areas.
The multifaceted use of the park and the variety of cultural events create an exciting experience for all age groups. With the correct care and maintenance of the green spaces, not only is the value of the spa park increased, but a sustainable approach is also pursued that combines both nature conservation and usage requirements.
