Beschreibung
The Sandgrube Zapfendorf area offers a variety of habitats with a range of different bird species. First, you have lakes and ponds in the partly active sandpit, where you can find species such as Zwergscharbe, Reiherente and Flußregenpfeifer. It has reed areas which host birds such as the Blaukehlchen, Rohrammer and Teichrohrsänger. The aluvial zones of the river Main nearby offer species such as Pirol, Kuckuck, Grauschnäpper and Fitis. The surrounding fields are the home of birds like Feldlerche and Rebhuhn.

Zugang
Sandgrube Zapfendorf is located directly north of the town of Zapfendorf. You can of course get there by car and leave it right next to the "Kleingartensiedlung" or south of the ponds. Press P on the map for directions to a parking.
Getting there by public transport is a bit difficult and you have to walk for a bit, e.g. starting at the Zapfendorf trainstation.

PLEASE NOTE, that this sandpit is under constant change. Some of the lakes/ponds may be altered due to the activity. The current map is not up-to-date as of May 2025. And on a similar note, the habitat quality may deteriorate.
You can also visit the "Große Wört" Southwest of this birding place (marked with a "star" symbol and a few suggested spots). However, you'll have to walk on the street for a bit to get to the actual trail.
