Description
The Moosburger Stausee is a 2 km long reservoir on the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, which is completely surrounded by a concrete dam. It attracts a large number of water birds, especially in winter. In addition to the common species such as црвеноклун лебед, дива гуска, црна лиска, цуцулест нуркач, голем северен нуркач, сива патка, црвеноглав кожувар,цуцулест кожувар, голем корморан and езерски галеб, less common birds like црноврат нуркач, белочелна гуска, четириока патка, патка свиркач, патка превез, патка лажичарка, бел нуркач and мал галеб also overwinter on the lake. Rarities that can be seen quite regularly include мал морски нуркач, белец,црвеноврат нуркач, ушест нуркач, среден северен нуркач, морски кожувар, долгоопашеста патка and белокрила црнка.
In the eastern part of the lake there is a small island on which жолтоног галеб and дива гуска breed in the summer.
During migration, патка крецка, речна чигра, црна рибарка and сокол ластовичар can often be seen on and over the lake. When the water level is low, mudflats are sometimes exposed, and many waders can be observed there. In general, however, the nearby Echinger Stausee is more suitable for waders.

Access
The Moosburger Stausee is difficult to reach by public transport. You can either cycle from Moosburg train station about 5 km to the lake or take bus 687 to the stop "Moosburg Uppenbornstraße". From there, however, you have to walk 500m along a busy road with no footpath. The lake is much easier to reach by car. It is located immediately west of the "Moosburg Nord" exit of the A92. There is a small car park at the southeast end of the lake. Press P on the map for directions. You can walk along the dam path along the lake shore.
