A small canal that leads to the Steinhuder Meer, a big lake with many different birds. Around the canal are also many little ponds.
At the Hagenburger canal you can see many ducks in winter and autumn. Especially at the point where the canal floats into the Steinhuder Meer. Among the ducks you can expect are Gargönd, Skeiðönd, Rauðhöfðaönd, Stokkönd, Grafönd, Skutulönd, Jarpönd and Skúfönd. In spring you can find warblers like Flóðsöngvari, Straumsöngvari, Reyrsöngvari, Seljusöngvari and Sefsöngvari. And this is also one of the best spots for Bláþyrill. You can find many songbirds like Barrfinka, Söngþröstur, Flekkugrípur, Blábrystingur and Seftittlingur.
At the mouth of the canal you can find especially in May some other waterbirds like Kolþerna, Sílaþerna and with some luck rarities like Þaraþerna ,Ránþerna or Skeggþerna.
From the city of Hagenburg you can drive by car or bike along the Luerßendamm which leads along the ponds. There are two parking spots. Click on a P in the map for directions.
From the little restaurant Moorgarten where you can also eat or drink something, you can walk along the Hagenburger canal and maybe spot Bláþyrill or in winter some Gulönd. At the second parking spot you can also have some luck with Barrspæta, Fauskspæta, Stubbspæta, Grænspæta and Svartspæta.
