NeeExtra info
For birding the area west of the lake and the river Leine is interesting as it is kind of natural floodplain forest. In the southeast there is the pond Vierthaler Teich (2), which is a good spot for exotic waterfowl like Carolina-eend and Mandarijneend as well as IJsvogel. During migration it is worth to check the southern shore for Kleine Plevier and Scholekster but one should keep in mind that the area belongs to a private swimming club.
