Beschrijving
This fielded area, sitting right next to the border of Berlin city, is composed of rectangular drainage ditches bordered by embankments. Due to their former use for sewage treatment, the soils here are very nutrient-rich and moist, allowing many insects and plants to colonize, providing plentiful food for birds.
Wielewaal are common in the adjacent woodland, Boomleeuwerik can be observed in the neighboring sandy habitat with old pines, and many Geelgors and Paapje can also be seen.

Toegang
This spot is best reached by bike, or alternatively by car via Dahlwitzer Landstraße. However, there's no parking directly nearby. One could park in the settlement of Münchehofe and walk from there, approx. 1 km.
The nearest public transport is either the S5 or S3 train lines. It's a 15-20min cycle from the nearest stops on both lines (these are starred on the map).
Plan on about an hour for the visit.

It is recommended to visit not only the Rieselfelder, but also the nearby forest and the sandy area directly southeast of the fields (these are marked 1 and 2 on the map).
The Erpetal (marked 3 on the map) is to the west of the Rieselfelder, this is a well-known birding area in Berlin, and it runs all the way down to the S3 train line. The Erpetal is also described on Birdingplaces.
