Beschrijving
The southern part of Ústí nad Labem, featuring the Střekov floodgate located below Střekov Castle, is a great stationary (or short walk) birding spot, especially for waterfowl. The river Labe widens here and the floodgate bridge offers perching spots right in the middle of the river stream.
On the eastern side, a cycle path runs right along the riverbank beneath the castle remains, connecting the city to the outskirts. Besides the flowing river surrounded by scattered patches of forest, the castle hill offers access to a forest with a viewpoint, reachable in about 30 minutes on foot.
Throughout most of the year, this area hosts Aalscholver and various gull species, including Kokmeeuw and Stormmeeuw. Wilde Eend and Knobbelzwaan can be spotted on the river, and with some luck you could also distinguish Grote Zaagbek. If you decide to stroll around into grassy areas instead, you'll encounter a range of corvids: Ekster, Bonte Kraai and Zwarte Kraai, Roek and Raaf alongside many songbirds – Witte Kwikstaart, Zwarte Roodstaart or Pimpelmees and Koolmees.
