Beschreibung
Grube Gerolsheim is a disused gravel pit in the middle of the Rhine plain. It contains different habitats, including a long escarpment where Bienenfresser breeds. There are also reed beds and waterfowl and typical field and shrub birds live in the area. In the area you can also find deer, foxes and nutria. The site can be observed from a hide. The Bienenfresser sometimes come very close to the camera lenses.
Especially between mid-June and the end of August you have a chance to observe the colony of Bienenfresser. Other birds you can expect in the area are Turteltaube, Teichrohrsänger, Bläßhuhn, Kuckuck, Stieglitz, Bluthänfling, Feldlerche and Mönchsgrasmücke.

Zugang
There are no parking facilities directly at the pit, so it is advised to use the parking lot at the Lambsheim cemetery. This is about 4 km from the pit. The resulting circular walk of 8 km leads through intensively used agricultural land, so it might be a good option to go by bike. If you explore the area on foot from Lambsheim, you should expect about 3 hours.
