Beschrijving

Traditional draw-wells and reed huts, cattle herds, families of geese, blossoming orchids in spring, and extensive salt efflorescences in summer are popular photo motifs.

From an ornithological point of view, the Illmitzer Zicksee (also known as the "Zicklacke") is certainly a “must-see”. At high water levels, a number of places offer good opportunities to observe birds at very close range. During the course of the year, about 15 duck species and 30 wader species use the lake or its shore zone as a resting area, and Krakeend, Slobeend, and Wilde Eend breed here. In May and July/ August, this saline lake is the most reliable spot in the area to see Breedbekstrandloper , Temmincks Strandloper , and Kleine Strandloper. It is also a good place to see: Gele Kwikstaart , Rietzanger , Snor , Grauwe Klauwier , and Rietgors. Singing pearches for Kuifleeuwerik and Sperwergrasmus are almost “common knowledge”.

Toegang

The parking area is located at Kirchentellinsfurter Platz. Driving around the soda pond is not allowed - walking or cycling are anyway the best ways to explore the area! Three wooden hides/towers (accessable with wheel chair) can be used for birdwatching around the Illmitzer Zicksee.
