The Oelbach ponds are good for duck watching in winter.
It is worth watching the birds at the Oelbach Klärteiche because, especially in winter, there are large numbers of Mallard, Gadwall, Tufted Duck, Common Pochard, Eurasian Wigeon , Great Crested Grebe, Eurasian Coot, Little Grebe and Eurasian Moorhen. Due to the mixture of forest and water, other species also live there in smaller numbers, such as Great Spotted Woodpecker, Eurasian Blue Tit, Great Tit, Common Chaffinch, Common Kingfisher, Grey Heron, Common Chiffchaff, Great Cormorant and many more.
Sometimes rare species are also found there.
The Oelbach ponds are located in the Bochum district of Querenburg, very close to the Ruhr University and the Kemnader See. You can park near the ponds. From the parking you can explore the area on foot or bike.
