Description
The Baggersee Grötzingen is a former gravel pit that is now part nature reserve, part recreational (fishing, bathing zone). In winter there are usually good numbers of цуцулест кожувар, сива патка, патка берија, цуцулест нуркач, сива чапја and голем корморан. They are sometimes joined by smaller numbers or individual црвеноглав кожувар, четириока патка, патка лажичарка or Mandarin Duck.
Most years, some more uncommon or rare species appear at some point during the winter. In recent years, морски кожувар, црвеноврат нуркач, Common Scoter and белокрила црнка have all been seen here. The woods surrounding the lake are a good place to look out for less common woodland species, such as сивоглав клукајдрвец, мал клукајдрвец and дебелоклун црешар.

Access
Baggersee Grötzingen is located south of the town of Weingarten. There is a nice path that leads all the way around the lake. In winter, parking usually isn't a problem, but in summer the lake can get quite busy. Click on the P in the map for directions to the parking. The circular route indicated on the map is about 3,5 km.
