English Abstract

During the period of march/April 1992 the migration of amphibian was studied in the area of the new built protection site for amphibian crossing the road near Kehlen. Therefore the tunnels were closed by pails to catch and count the crossing amphibians and test the acceptance of the new system. 4 species were recorded, mainla Bufo bufo. The study shows that the tunnel system was used by the studied species to cross the road and there was a very low level of mortality rate of amphibians on the road CR 102.
