Beschrijving
The Kleine Weikerlsee and the Große Weikerlsee are located in the Traun-Donau-Auen nature reserve, on the confluence of the rivers Donau and Traun. Along the banks of the lakes you will find birds typical of the region such as Knobbelzwaan, Dodaars, Grauwe Gans and Fuut. The area is especially good in winter for overwintering ducks such as Krooneend, Tafeleend, Kuifeend, Witoogeend, Brilduiker and Grote Zaagbek, but also Dwergaalscholver, Waterral and Grote Zilverreiger can be observed.
Because the lakes are surrounded by forest you can also find many woodpeckers and other woodland birds. In the summer, when the area attracts many holidaymakers, far fewer birds can be seen.
