Descrizione

Located in the middle of the huge urban industrial area of the port of Hamburg, the Holzhafen was reconnected to the tidal river Elbe only in 2013 as a compensation area for the expansion of the motorway. Therefore the area is one of the most important wetlands in Hamburg. Depending on the time and season you can expect a great variety of waterbirds of all kind. Especially during migration season several species of ducks can be seen (especially Alzavola, Mestolone and Volpoca in good numbers). Some days in spring see dozens of gulls (all species, including Gabbiano corallino which breeds close by) and terns feeding from the water, Fraticello and Sterna maggiore are recorded. The adjacent bushy areas and reed belts used to be good spots to search for passerines as Pettazzurro. Falco pellegrino breeds in a nearby power pole and Falco pescatore is a reguar guests. Also different species of waders can be observed in smaller numbers.
