Nederlands: De Badhuiskuil is een meer in de duinen: door het winnen van zand is een groot gat ontstaan dat vervolgens onder water kwam te staan. Dit is een goede plek om broedende meeuwen te observeren. Je ziet veel Сребренест галеб nestelen in de duinen en Голем морски галеб baden in het meer. Er zwemmen vrijwel altijd дива гуска in het meer. En er kunnen hier nog tal van andere vogels voorbij vliegen. Goede plek ook voor речна тринга, шарена тринга, шумска тринга en зеленонога тринга tijdens de vogeltrek.
