Description
The Wollmatinger Ried has reed beds, meadows and forests close to the shore. The 767 hectare nature reserve is a preferred resting and over-wintering spot for a quarter of all Lake Constance (Bodensee) waterfowl, besides also being an important breeding area.

Access
There are several interesting possibilities to watch birds here:
1) a guided tour into otherwise restricted areas, starting at "Vogelhäusle" (see map), offered by NABU (www.nabu-bodenseezentrum.de).
2) a walk along the "Reichenauer Damm", with an observation tower in the ruins of Schopflen castle ("Ruine Schopflen", see map).
3) a walk along the "Gottlieber Weg" (see map), a 1.3 km long path that is accessible without guided tours.
4) an observation platform located just inside the campsite of Hegne (see map)
