Descrizione
The Kugelbake is a historic day beacon in the city of Cuxhaven at the northernmost point of Lower Saxony, where the River Elbe flows into the North Sea. The Kugelbake stands at a busy shipping lane and was once a vital nautical landmark. At this point, the estuary is about 18 km wide. Because the Kugelbake stands on the end of a dam and protrudes far into the water, it is a nice place for birding. You can overlook the beach, the harbor and the sea at the same time. Among the birds you can observe are Volpoca, Oca colombaccio, Oca zamperosee, Cigno selvatico, Oca lombardella minore, Moretta grigia, Edredone, Orco marino, Orchetto marino, Quattrocchi, Smergo maggiore, Smergo minore, Avocetta, Beccaccia di mare, Pivieressa, Piviere dorato, Chiurlo maggiore, Voltapietre, Piovanello maggiore, Piovanello tridattilo, Piovanello pancianera, Piovanello violetto, Pettegola, Strolaga minore, Aquila di mare, Allodola golagialla, Culbianco and Zigolo delle nevi.
