In our diverse botanic garden are eight biotopes (naturally laid ponds without foil) that are feed through our own underground spring. This means the ecological balance (natural filtering) is held in check and therefore a large selection of frogs, toads, bull frogs, lizards and fire-dragons can be seen. Also the delicate and rare "Geldbrandkäfer" and the shy ring snake feel at home here. Our mustard watercress is also to be found there! Our foreign security guard, Darwin, (A Victorian Black Swan) is often rude to any "invaders" as one should be aware when enjoying a glass of Elderberry sparkling wine there!
A variety of birds are also to be viewed, for example: Mirror, Blue and Nun titmouse, Gratenrotschwanz, Wren, Rotbrüstchen, Bach and Schafstelzen, Bull finch and different sparrow species: Yellow-hammer, Hedge sparrow, Finch and Woodpecker, Goldhähnchen, Blackbird and Thrush. The majority of them have been brooding their young here regularly over the years and since 1995 sparrows nest in the furrows of the Museum wing. The King white crane dines from our ponds and in summer we have a melange of colour in both butterflies and wild flowers.

Due to the fact that our garden is not over cultivated or kept "English style" many species of animals have found their homes there. For our guests the garden is open for pre-dinner drinks as well as for cocktail parties before a function. Nature lovers and people that understand the "pros and cons" of owning animals will feel at home along with them, in our small piece of paradise.

We find it a pleasure to welcome you to "Jägerhaus" and hope you will feel right "at home" by us!
