Description
The Garchinger Heide is primarily known for its botanical rarities, for example one of the last German occurrences of the Eastern pasqueflower (Pulsatilla patens). Due to the strict protection and biotope maintenance, the area has also become a retreat for field and meadow birds that have become rare elsewhere. Breeding birds include Trčka, Prepelica, Fazan, Vivak, Juričica and Velika Strnadica, as well as the omnipresent Poljska Ševa and Žuta strnadica.
In spring and autumn, you can see Sivkasta Bjeloguza, Smeđoglavi Batić, Crnoglavi Batić and Žuta Pastirica resting on migration. Eja Strnjarica and Veliki svračak are present in winter. Crvenokljuni Labud, Siva Guska, Mlakuša and Liska breed on the quarry pond (Baggersee am Hart).
You can also take a little detour north to the small nearby nature reserve Echinger Lohe, where Crna žuna can be observed. The circular walking route indicated on the map also passes through Echinger Lohe.
