Beschreibung
Waldpark ('forest park') is a recreational forest in the city of Mannheim, while the adjoining Reißinsel is a protected nature reserve. Located near the Rhine river, Waldpark and Reißinsel are characterised by riparian forests. Reißinsel also has meadow orchards. Both areas provide good birdwatching opportunities. Species that can be observed include various woodpeckers (Buntspecht, Mittelspecht, Kleinspecht, Grünspecht, Grauspecht, and Schwarzspecht) and other typical forest birds (e.g. Eichelhäher, Kleiber, Gartenbaumläufer). Near the water, you can find Eisvogel and Gebirgsstelze. Waterbirds and gulls are found on the Rhine river.
Note: To protect breeding birds, the Reißinsel area is closed to visitors from the beginning of March till the end of June. Waldpark can be crowded especially during weekends.
