The Grand Pond (German: Großer Weiher), also called Castle Park Pond, is located in the park east of the main entrance of Castle Ambras in the city area of Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria.[1][2] The lake was established by the Habsburgs for rare water birds. Today it also houses swans and ducks.[3]

The Pond is provided with fresh water due to the Aldranser brook, which also drains the Lake. The Lake has quite a good water quality: B grade. The shores were fenced in to forbid bathing. The muddy bottom and the reed regions protect the birds and give nourishment to them and the fish.
