A magnificent area on the banks of the Strimonas. It has many different habitats and therefore many bird species. Great for birdwatching and photographing.

Description

This area, which stretches along the Strimona River, offers countless different habitats. On your left you have the river with the waterfowl. These often come up the river from the lake and stay on one of the countless islands in the river. Then comes a beautiful meadow which stretches to the dam. Meadow breeders and Guêpier d'Europe breed there in spring. You can drive or walk along the dam path at walking pace. On the right side of the dam path there is another strip of meadow, hedges, groves, marshes and pasture. The area is therefore attractive for many birds. Of course it depends on the season which birds can be observed. Many migratory birds make a stop in the area but the area has also many breeding birds. Depending on the amount of rain, the alluvial forests are wetter or drier.

Some birds are rather shy. But you can take good photos from the car. Huppe fasciée come very close sometimes when they are foraging. The same applies to the larks which are looking for food along the road.

Accès

You can get to the area by car or by bike from Vironia. You drive from Vironia to the bridge. In front of the bridge (River Strimona or Struma) there is a picnic area. You could park there and walk. Or you can drive on the dam. Shortly after the picnic area, the paths split. If you want to see more pelicans and herons, take the lower path. If you want to see all the other birds, the upper way. We found it most interesting on the first 4 km. There are people who then drive across the pasture to get on the other way. A no-go for us! Bee-eaters breed in the ground and other meadow breeders.
