Descrizione

The Forsthaus Prösa area is a gently undulating, sandy-loamy terminal moraine landscape shaped by the Saale Ice Age. It impresses with one of the largest contiguous sessile oak forests in Central Europe and heathland areas. For decades, a large part of the area was a restricted military zone and was used as a military training area by the NVA, resulting in large areas of open land with silver grass and broom heath. Since 2008, the area has been owned by the German Federal Environmental Foundation and has been designated a “National Natural Heritage Site.”

The Prösa forest lodge is an excellent place for bird watching, especially during the breeding season in May and June. Notable breeding birds include Gallo cedrone, Upupa, Succiacapre, Beccaccia, and Calandro. A total of seven species of woodpecker (Picchio nero, Picchio rosso maggiore, Picchio rosso mezzano, Picchio rosso minore, Picchio cenerino, Picchio verde, Torcicollo) inhabit the area. The melodious song of the Upupa and the calls of the Cuculo can be heard in many places from May onwards. Averla piccola, Codirosso, and Tortora selvatica breed in the peripheral areas. Falco pecchiaiolo, Lodolaio, and Corvo imperiale can also be observed. A project to reintroduce the Gallo cedrone has been running since 2012. In August and September, a visit is recommended because of the heathlands are in full bloom.

Dettagli

Accesso

The Forsthaus Prösa area is located about 50 km north of Dresden in the Elbe-Elster district. The hiking car park northwest of Hohenleipisch is a good starting point. Press P on the map for directions to the car park. From here, you can set off on a circular route (about 12 km, shown on the map below).

Walk west past orchards (Torcicollo, Upupa, Codirosso, Averla piccola) to Grube "Gotthold" (Tuffetto, Folaga). Continue north to the heathland (former tactical training area). Here you can observe Tottavilla, Allodola, Prispolone, Saltimpalo, Upupa, Beccaccia and Succiacapre. The circular route ends by walking through the sessile oak forests (Picchio cenerino, Tortora selvatica) to the east and later to the south.

The northern part of the area is recommended for the Gallo cedrone.
