Description

The Düdinger Moos or, in French, Marais de Guin, is located near the motorway. The visit should therefore take place at times when the A12 is less busy. It consists of several ponds, which are interesting for amphibian lovers, and a larger pond with a high observation tower from where you can see a reed bed, as well as some surrounding hedges and woods. This is the best place for birdwatching.

The Düdinger Moos is situated on the border of the distribution range of birds such as Fauvette grisette, Pie-grièche écorcheur , and Loriot d'Europe which no longer occur at higher altitudes towards the foothills of the Alps. In the reed beds you can hear reed warblers, including the Rousserolle turdoïde, and with a lot of luck you can observe Locustelle luscinioïde, Bihoreau gris and Blongios nain. The characteristic cry of the Râle d'eau can be heard regularly, as can melodious call of the Pic noir in the neighbouring woods. Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Sarcelle d'été and Canard souchet can be reliably observed.

Rare sightings include Faucon kobez, Marouette ponctuée, and Butor étoilé. While early morning is generally the best time to observe, the afternoon is good for watching birds of prey, and in the evening light, mixed flocks of Hirondelle de fenêtre and Hirondelle rustique hunt over the water and around the observation tower.

Détails

Accès

The Düdinger Moos can be reached from Düdingen railway station in twenty minutes on foot or by bike. The path leads through a charming and largely ecologically managed agricultural landscape, which is well worth a look through binoculars. If absolutely necessary, the place can also be reached by car. There is a designated free parking for four to five cars. The path is easy and should also be wheelchair-accessible despite slight differences in height.
