Uni Pond & Teichwerk Restaurant.

The 11,500 sq. meter, 1.2 meter deep university pond is at the heart of the JKU campus. Approximately 180 meters long, the pond is an automatically regulated natural biotope and home to the popular JKU ducks.

 

 

The university pond is home to countless birds, fish, and turtles. Visitors are asked to refrain from feeding the ducks in order to preserve the pond's fragile ecosystem. The JKU welcomes students, employees and local residents alike to enjoy the park area, pond, and surroundings as a recreational area.
