Description

If you want to enjoy city life in a central park while spotting a few birds, this is the place to be. The whole area consists of a few interconnected parks, several ponds and a river, and connects right to the "Leipziger Auwald" (alluvial forest). This birdingplace focuses on the Clara-Zetkin-Park and Johannapark (with a suggested 2.4 km circular route), but the route can be extended easily. Note that this park is used by a lot of people for recreation. Particularly during summer and later in the day, it can be quite crowded.

Among the bird species you can expect here are Mandarin Duck, Обичен (Шумски) лазач, црвеноглаво кралче, дрозд пејач, рибарче and зелен клукајдрвец.

Access

The Clara-Zetkin-Park can be accessed from all directions, at best by foot and bike. There are also several parking options, particularly in the residents' streets surrounding the park. One dedicated parking option is marked as a P on the map.
