Description
The Geiseltalsee used to be a coal mining area. Therefore most parts are dry and sandy. As it is now flooded you will find many sandbanks and good opportunities to watch waterbirds.
The area is quite large. It is best to explore with a bicycle. The circular route surrounding the lake complex (see map) is completely asphalt, so it is perfect for bicycle and wheelchair. However, surrounding the entire lake on foot or wheelchair will be strenuous: the circular route is 25 km (15 miles) long.
Breeding birds in summer: It is easy to see Guêpier d'Europe as they are nearly everywhere and breed in the area. Around the lake there are plenty of spots with Torcol fourmilier. The sandy and dry areas are good for Traquet motteux and Pipit rousseline. An overflying Tourterelle des bois is a regular sight and with luck you can also see Fauvette épervière or Pie-grièche grise.
Winter visitors: The lake is full of waterbirds in winter. It is a great place to see many species of ducks and geese. Nette rousse can be seen in good numbers. Divers of all species have been recorded here – it is a surprisingly good place to see Grèbe esclavon in winter for inland Germany. Other divers are Grèbe jougris, Grèbe à cou noir and Plongeon arctique. Harle bièvre, Harle huppé, Harle piette and Macreuse brune are regular winter visitors.
In spring and summer the central sandbanks (near red marker) are good for waders and gulls. Échasse blanche has bred in the area. More common breeding waders are Petit Gravelot and Vanneau huppé.

Accès
You can get there by train via Merseburg. Get off the train at Mücheln(Geiseltal), Krumpa or Braunsbedra and walk north.
There are at least seven large-capacity car parks around the lake (see P on map) with good viewpoints nearby.
Three high lookout towers are in the area, each with a car park close by. They provide a good overview of the area but birds are quite distant (scope is useful).
The asphalt circular route around the lake is only for walking, cycling or wheelchair but it is quite long (25 km). A bicycle is the best option. Bicycles can be rent at Marina Mücheln (see map).
