Descripción
The renatured lake is since its renaturation a single large shallow water zone, where often sandbanks are exposed. You can overview it nicely by an observation tower, from where you can look on all the relevant parts of the area. During migration season you should find always some waders there, at least under "normal" weather conditions. Up to now about 30 species have been observed there. Furthermore, pay attention to terns: While Charrán Común also breed on artificial nesting rafts, Fumarel Común are seen resting quite regularly. Here and then some rarer species like Pagaza Piquirroja or Fumarel Cariblanco have been noted.
The surrounding lakes are not quite as interesting, but you could find Pato Colorado, Zampullín Cuellinegro on the ponds and with very much luck Pájaro-moscón Europeo (they've become rare over the last couple of years in Germany) in the trees around them. North- and eastwards of the observation tower pastures and relicts of moors confine to the area. In late spring and early summer Alcotán Europeo and Cernícalo Patirrojo can be seen hunting there. Finally, in the bushes and reeds of the transition zones from water to land Ruiseñor Pechiazul and Tarabilla común breed.

Accesso
There is no real car park for the site. Yet it is possible to leave the car roughly on the marked spot on the map. The next two towns are Gundelfingen and Günzburg connected by the national road B 16. Immediately, before (coming from south respectively Günzburg) or after (coming from Gundelfingen) passing the small hamlet "Emmausheim" take the first lane left (coming from the south) or right (coming from the north). After a small while you should find a small signpost ("Durchfahrt verboten"), which indicates that it is forbidden to drive further. Park here somewhere on the side of the lane. By continuing on the path you should come directly to the observation tower.
Both Günzburg and Gundelfingen have a train station. From here you can easily approach the site by cycling. A suitable cycle path runs parallel to the B 16.
