Description
The Lech Hochablass is a weir that dams the river Lech and is accessible on foot. Below you see the river Lech when it passes the weir and a mighty waterfall flows down on the other side. There is also a fish ladder and large gravel banks north of the dam. The site is perfect to observe the koskikara, which breeds here every year. The virtavästäräkki, västäräkki and in winter the vuorikirvinen can also often be seen here.
Other interesting species are naurulokki, isokoskelo and kuningaskalastaja, which are favored by the proximity to the lake Kuhsee. Southwest of the Lech Hochablass, at the 'Fotopunkt Hochablass' (Hochablass photo point), there are feeding stations in winter where nokkavarpunen, närhi and käpytikka can be seen, and in the immediately surrounding forest area you can also see the tammitikka. The Hochablass is an unusual and impressive birdwatching spot and always worth a detour.
