Beschrijving
Naturschutzgebiet Rabensburger Thaya-Auen is a nature reserve where the Thaya River floodplain opens into a beautiful, tranquil landscape shaped by the river’s winding course. The area is a mosaic of meadows, riparian forests, and reedbeds, interspersed with patches of arable land, bushes and old trees. In spring and after heavy rains, parts of the plain are covered by shallow water, creating rich feeding grounds for birds.
This diverse habitat supports an impressive variety of bird species throughout the year. Spring is the best time to visit, when the songs of Krekelzanger, Bosrietzanger, Sprinkhaanzanger, and Kwartelkoning fill the air. In summer, the floodplain hosts Grauwe Klauwier, Klapekster, Bijeneter, Wielewaal, Draaihals, Zwarte Ooievaar, and Ooievaar.
During winter, the area can serve as a stopover site for Ruigpootbuizerd, while Keizerarend, Zeearend, and Havik can be seen here throughout the year, together with Middelste Bonte Specht and Grijskopspecht. On occasion, a Sakervalk may also be observed soaring above the area.

Toegang
The Rabensburger Thaya-Auen nature reserve is easy to reach from Rabensburg main station, and there is also ample parking at the start of the 3,5 km circular route shown on the map. Press P on the map for directions to the parking. The paths are well maintained and suitable for both walking and cycling (though not ideal for city bikes). It’s well worth spending at least two to three hours exploring the floodplain and its diverse habitats.
