Description
The Landschaftspark Hachinger Tal is a 150 hectares area in the south of Munich that is part of the Munich gravel plain. It contains the rest of a heath area and was used as a military airfield from 1933 to 1997, with the runway still existing. From March on, you hear the sound of singing kiuru from the meadows, in May/June also sometimes viiriäinen. There are protected areas for meadow breeders, see local signs. In spring there are birdsongs from keltasirkku and rautiainen in the bushes, while in May/June you find pikkulepinkäinen and singing lehtokerttu, kultarinta and luhtakerttunen.

In winter especially the little stream (Hachinger Bach) can be interesting, with kuningaskalastaja, virtavästäräkki and sometimes taivaanvuohi or jänkäkurppa.
