Knielinger See

Baden-Württemberg  >  Germany

A large, accessible lake near the river Rhine. Interesting all year round, but especially in winter with large numbers of wintering ducks and the odd rarity.

Beschreibung

The Knielinger See is one of many former gravel pits along the river Rhine and the largest waterbody in or around the city of Karlsruhe. It is easily accessible with good paths and numerous viewpoints. In winter, the lake hosts a large number of wintering ducks, grebes, herons, swans and geese. These include Schnatterente , Reiherente , Tafelente , Pfeifente , Schellente , Löffelente , Krickente , Zwergtaucher and Haubentaucher. There are always a good variety of species present and rarer species such as Spießente, Kolbenente, Bergente, Knäkente, Samtente, Sterntaucher, Zwergscharbe, Mittelsäger, Schwarzhalstaucher, Rothalstaucher , Ohrentaucher, Eisente, Ringschnabelente and Eiderente have all been seen here before.

In spring and summer the lake itself is quieter, although there are still many interesting birds around: Flußseeschwalbe can be seen fishing and rarer terns such as Trauerseeschwalbe are possible. Schwarzmilan are frequently seen in spring and summer. The woodlands and meadows surrounding the lake are home to a good number of species, such as Schwarzspecht , Grünspecht and Grauschnäpper. Warbler species such as Gartengrasmücke or Mönchsgrasmücke can be heard in spring, along with Nachtigall.
