Description
The Kleine Weikerlsee and the Große Weikerlsee are located in the Traun-Donau-Auen nature reserve, on the confluence of the rivers Donau and Traun. Along the banks of the lakes you will find birds typical of the region such as црвеноклун лебед, мал нуркач, дива гуска and цуцулест нуркач. The area is especially good in winter for overwintering ducks such as патка превез, црвеноглав кожувар, цуцулест кожувар, црн кожувар, четириока патка and голем северен нуркач, but also мал корморан, барска кокошка and голема бела чапја can be observed.
Because the lakes are surrounded by forest you can also find many woodpeckers and other woodland birds. In the summer, when the area attracts many holidaymakers, far fewer birds can be seen.
