A beautiful meadow and cultural landscape that surprises with a variety of species, such as kukačka obecná, skřivan polní and linduška lesní.
At the beginning of Rheinaue Walsum you cross a mixture of deciduous forests and wet meadows, in which you can see deer and brown hares as well as species such as rehek zahradní, bažant obecný and ostříž lesní. If you follow the path, you will pass a small area of thistles and reeds, where pěnice hnědokřídlá, cvrčilka zelená and budníček menší are at home. Early in the morning the call of kukačka obecná and budníček větší can be heard from the woods.
Then you get to the flood lakes and alder brooks. kopřivka obecná breed on the lakes and with luck you will see strnad rákosní and kolpík bílý. In winter morčák velký, morčák malý and polák velký rest there, during the migration period you can also find various waders such as pisík obecný and species such as čírka obecná.
When you get to the dike, especially in spring, you notice the many linduška lesní that fly out of the green areas on the dike. From the dike I have a good overview of the dike foreland, where the singing skřivan polní can hardly be overheard. Other breeding birds are konopka obecná, linduška luční and konipas luční. During migration bramborníček černohlavý, bramborníček hnědý and bělořit šedý rest in this area. In addition to the wet meadows, there are also depressions in the dike foreland where, with a bit of luck, you can see species such as orel mořský, vodouš rudonohý, vodouš šedý, ústřičník velký, kulík říční and vodouš kropenatý.
In winter, the entire area is mainly known for the massive numbers of hibernating husa běločelá. In spring and summer it is also worthwhile to be out at dusk to hear sýček obecný, Sova pálená and puštík obecný calling.
The area can be reached via both the B8 and A59. The best parking lot is "Parkplatz kleine Wardstraße", if this is full, you can also park at the Rheinaue parking lot or at the nearby cemetery, but then you have to walk / drive a little along the street to get into the area. At the first mentioned parking lot you are right in the middle of the action. The walking route that is indicated on the map is about 8 km long.
With a lot of luck you can see exceptional birds like kvakoš noční or ibis posvátný, both of which have already been reported in the area.
