Description

Naturschutzgebiet Hasenfeld and Rheinvorland is located between Eversael and Ossenberg. At the beginning you cross open cultural landscapes and meadows, where species such as глувчар or in winter белочелна гуска are at home. Then you climb the dike and get an overview of the partially flooded meadows, and you immediately notice the singing полска чучулига. In winter it is teeming with белочелна гуска and Палска (Посебна) гуска.

Then you come to the first lake, the water level of which is determined exclusively by precipitation. The migration time is definitely the most productive time here. Then you can, among other things see мал пескар, зеленонога тринга as well as орел рибар and . In winter there are species like бел нуркач, црвеноглав кожувар or голем северен нуркач.

The path continues through a landscape of wet meadow and floodplain, which is the busiest in summer, for example here you will find полска чучулига, ливадска трепетилка, Жолта тресиопашка as well as Фазан and . Large swarms of патка свиркач also stay here at migration time. Then you reach the flood lakes, here you can find species like голема бела чапја, обична бекасина, црвенонога тринга and црноопашна блатарка.

On the other side of the dike begins a landscape of open space, isolated trees and bushes. Directly on the dike is a colony of сива чапја, further inland you can find species such as обично страче, обично грмушарче, жолтогрла стрнарка and шарена тринга. The way back leads through fields and meadows, which are not so productive in summer, but in winter you can find Tundra Bean Goose here. Alternatively, you can of course walk back along the dike.
