The location directly on the Rhine and at Schiersteiner harbor, the ponds and the meadowland at the pumping station make the area a favorable habitat for breeding birds and suitable land for migratory birds and winter guests. The area is home to a large breeding colony of White Stork. Other birds you can encounter include Water Rail, Great Bittern, Great Crested Grebe, Common Kingfisher, Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Moorhen, Grey Heron, Great Cormorant, Rose-ringed Parakeet and Red Kite.
