Beschrijving
The Limbacher Teiche are a wetland north-west of Chemnitz. The ponds and wet meadows are home many birds. More than 90 bird species have been recorded breeding in the area and many more on migration. The wet meadows and reeds serve as a resting place for Watersnip and Bokje. Breeding birds include Rietgors, Grote Karekiet and Blauwborst. Sometimes also Bruine Kiekendief. Around the Großen Teich (Great Pond) you can also observe many birds. The best view opens up from the main dam. In particular, the small island with its Kokmeeuw colony is a highlight in itself. Other breeding birds at the Great Pond are Kuifeend, Tafeleend, Grasmus and Kleine Karekiet.
The nature trail ('Naturlehrpfad') leads through the wet meadows in the Lohteichtal where sometimes Kwartelkoning is heard. Other birds in this area are Bosrietzanger and Grauwe Klauwier. Rare birds like Porseleinhoen, Velduil and Poelsnip have been observed in this area. The nature trail leads you on to the Großen und Kleinen Mühlteich (Large and Small Mill Pond) where you have a chance to spot birds like IJsvogel, Dodaars and Grote Karekiet.
