Small lowland nature reserve along a Rhine tributary, the river Selz, with associated ponds and marshes. Situated among the open Rhenish-Hessian hill country.
The small river Selz has been renaturalised at this reserve. Along with an area of flooded marshes, reedbeds, ponds, grassland and scattered riverine woodland, some regionally scarce breeders are present and over the years a wide variety of passage and winter birds have been recorded. Over 200 species are now on the reserve list. A concerted effort in Spring on a good day can produce 70 species at the reserve and along the river.
The main attraction for most will be spring and summer reedbed visitors, such as Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Buscarla Unicolor and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental. Carricero Tordal has become more regular and Bigotudo appears to have recently colonised. Pájaro-moscón Europeo has bred but nowadays has generally reduced to being a scarce migrant. There is a Garza Real colony and scarcer relatives such as Martinete Común, Garceta Común, Avetorillo común, Garza Imperial and Avetoro Común have all been recorded in recent years, some regularly.
Passage waders can be found on the pools or flooded grasslands, but this is heavily dependent on weather and water level conditions. More regular are Andarríos Grande, Andarríos Bastardo, Archibebe Común Archibebe Claro, Correlimos Común, Combatiente and Archibebe Oscuro but local scarcities such as Aguja Colinegra, Zarapito Trinador, Correlimos Zarapitín, Correlimos de Temminck and even Falaropo Picogrueso have all been recorded.
Grulla Común , Cigüeña Blanca and Cigüeña Negra are regular visitors. The woodlands hold good numbers of Ruiseñor Común and Oropéndola Europea. Pico Mediano has recently colonised the area. Mochuelo Europeo and Búho Chico breed, as does Alcotán Europeo, Milano Real and Milano Negro.
Wildfowl numbers build up modestly in Spring and Autumn with Cerceta Común being the most easily encountered. Visibility can be a challenge with reeds obscuring the pools, so try using a scope from higher ground. In most winters, singles or low numbers of wild geese are recorded among the resident groups of Ánsar común, the most regular being Ánsar careto. Bisbita Alpino is regular on passage and sometimes winter.
Limited free parking is available at a couple of small paved areas next to the L432 between Hahnheim and Sörgenloch. This road is also on a bus-route (652) with the nearest bus-stop at Wahlheimer Hof to the east of the reserve, or alternatively at Sörgenloch to the west. A path, paved only on most of the southern side, circumvents the pools, grassland, and reedbeds. Cycling the southern edge is possible, but other stretches are higher grass or muddy depending on conditions.
