Description

​The Altrhein Kleiner Bodensee is a meander cutoff of the river Rhine and a nature reserve. The neighbouring lake (gravel pit), Alb stream and mixed woodland complete the rich array of habitats. Throughout the year, various wetland birds can be seen on the waterbodies: Canard colvert, Grèbe huppé, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard chipeau, Goéland leucophée and Grand Cormoran (including a sizeable nesting colony) are present for most of the year.

In winter, small groups of Fuligule morillon, Garrot à oeil d'or and Canard souchet can also be seen. In late spring and summer Sterne pierregarin and Milan noir can be seen over / near the lake. In spring and summer, the surrounding woodlands and lakeside undergrowth are home to a number of interesting species. Both Gobemouche gris and Gobemouche noir can be heard and observed here. With a bit of luck, you might be treated to the otherworldly techno-style song and a glimpse of an Hypolaïs ictérine.

The surrounding woodland is also a great place to observe woodpeckers. With luck and patience it is possible to observe Pic épeiche, Pic mar, Pic épeichette, Pic vert, Pic cendré and Pic noir.
