Description
The former gravel lake Kiessee und the naturally preserved river Innerste near Ringelheim attract a lot of birds. Along the beautiful, wild course of the Innerste river you can easily observe Isfugl, Hvid Vipstjert and Svaleklire. Also beaver can be observed. Due to the old trees the area also holds Sortspætte and Mellemflagspætte. In the dense bushes you can often hear Sydlig Nattergal and Gøg.
The gravel lake is home to many geese. Here Nilgås, Stor Skallesluger, Gravand can also be seen. Lots of ducks, especially Troldand. You can regularly observe Trane as well. Fiskeørn and Havørn hunt over the lake. The dense reed belt provides good hiding places and attracts more birds. There are also many beaver and wild boar tracks.

Access
The Kiessee und river Innerste are located just south of Salzgitter-Ringelheim. There are a few parking spaces for cars on the country road near the Franzosenbrücke. Press P on the map for directions to the parking spot. From here you can take a lovely circular walk of 6,5 km. The second section of the path is very overgrown in summer, but has great meadow sections and lots of wild herbs.
