Description

Storchenkolonie Schierstein is located along the Rhine. For such a small area, the biodiversity is rich. 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 Hvid Stork. Other birds you can encounter include Vandrikse, Rørdrum, Toppet Lappedykker, Isfugl, Blishøne, Rørhøne, Fiskehejre, Skarv, Alexanderparakit and Rød Glente.
