Beschreibung
The shore area at the southern tip of the Heisinger peninsula is is a bird sanctuary called the Heisinger Bogen. This shallow water area in the floodplains of the river Ruhr has a well-developed vegetation and remnants of a riparian forest. The area floods at regular intervals. You will have the opportunity to observe waterfowl up close. Grebes and ducks are accustomed to humans and show little shyness. But also rarer species, such as Krickente, Zwergtaucher, Eisvogel and Wasserralle can be observed. There is a big Graureiher colony, 70 - 80 breeding pairs raise their offspring here every year, and Kormoran also breeds in the area.
