Description
The lake Erlachsee is completely fenced to protect the birds. But an observation cabin at the southern shore offers good opportunities for bird spotting without causing disturbance. In addition, on the western shore the surrounding footpath also at one point allows a view on the lake.
Several gravel islands were created especially as breeding places for the мал пескар, however, they don't seem to have nested there, at least not in recent years. In contrast, цуцулест нуркач, голем корморан, сива чапја, жолтоног галеб, цуцулест кожувар, Mandarin Duck, дива гуска, Canada Goose and црна лиска can be seen regularly. With a bit of luck, you will also spot рибарче, патка лажичарка, речна тринга, голема бела чапја, мал нуркач and others.
The surrounding Oberwald forest offers further opportunities for observations of for example црн клукајдрвец, голем клукајдрвец, среден клукајдрвец, зелен клукајдрвец and дологоопашеста сипка.
