Description
The Landschaftspark Hachinger Tal is a 150 hectares area in the south of Munich that is part of the Munich gravel plain. It contains the rest of a heath area and was used as a military airfield from 1933 to 1997, with the runway still existing. From March on, you hear the sound of singing Mezei pacsirta from the meadows, in May/June also sometimes Fürj. There are protected areas for meadow breeders, see local signs. In spring there are birdsongs from Citromsármány and Erdei szürkebegy in the bushes, while in May/June you find Tövisszúró gébics and singing Kerti poszáta, Kerti geze and Énekes nádiposzáta.
During spring and autumn migration good chances of cigánycsuk, rozsdás csuk, Hantmadár or Kormos légykapó, with luck also rare migrants like Búbos banka or Parlagi pityer. In winter especially the little stream (Hachinger Bach) can be interesting, with Jégmadár, hegyi billegető and sometimes Sárszalonka or Kis sárszalonka. From time to time several rarities have been observed in the park, like Réti fülesbagoly, kis őrgébics and Bajszos poszáta.
