Description

The Schollenmühle - a former peat factory - is located in the middle of the Bannriet-Spitzmäder nature reserve. Peat extraction has left a varied landscape relief here. The 53-hectare nature reserve has meadows, moorland and agricultural land with many birds, especially in the summer season. Bijela roda and lots of other interesting bird species are breeding here. Sometimes you can also find a Crna Roda.
