Description

At Mittleres Wietingsmoor there is a narrow road between marsh and moors. During the autumn migration in the evening twilight a beautiful entry of the many jeřáb popelavý that settle with the many husa velká and husa běločelá. Halfway along the road is a reasonable parking space from where you can admire the spectacle at an appropriate distance. This place is a lot quieter than the more popular moors with the lookout towers. (they are also beautiful, but are visited quite a lot).

You can also walk, but it is very remote. Mittleres Wietingsmoor has the same large flocks of birds as the surrounding peat bogs, but is less visited.
