Description
Alter Neckar is a nature reserve near the town of Esslingen. The area is an old river arm of the Neckar with adjacent meadows and fields. In the narrow belt of hardwood and softwood floodplains, there are still some relics of the original alluvial forest. The abundance of fish in the old river arm is attractive for Σταχτοτσικνιάς and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη. The trees in the shady shore areas have Πευκοδρυοκολάπτης, Δεντροτσοπανάκος and Καμποδεντροβάτης. In winter you can see Χηνοπρίστης on the river.
