Description

Graswarder is a natural peninsula with a length of about 2.5 km and a width of about 300 m close to the city of Heiligenhafen. The nature reserve is characterized by the Baltic Sea beach, the up to two-meter-high beach walls with attached dune and a lush salt marsh. The Graswarder is an important habitat for many birds. From March to May, more than 40 bird species breed in the nature reserve. Thousands of waders and duck species also rest and hibernate here. In addition to the breeding birds, around 180 other bird species visit the area during migration and winter. From an observation tower, visitors have a fantastic view of the reserve. Among the birds you can encounter are Huîtrier pie, Chevalier aboyeur, Pygargue à queue blanche, Courlis corlieu, Canard siffleur, Goéland cendré (sometimes up to 2000 pairs), Eider à duvet, Harle huppé, Bernache nonnette, Courlis cendré, Avocette élégante, Cygne chanteur, Tadorne de Belon, Pluvier argenté, Grand Gravelot, Barge rousse, Bécasseau sanderling, Sterne arctique and Bécasseau variable. But many more, see the birdlist below. The Graswarder is managed by NABU (BirdLife Germany).
