Beschrijving
The small town of Wassersuppe lies on the banks of the extensive Hohennauener See, on the edge of the Westhavelland nature park. Close to the village a narrow channel (Große Havelländische Hauptkanal) of 3 km is connecting two lakes. From the bridge you have a good view over the reed area, the river and the lake. In the morning you can see a variety of birds: Koekoek sit in the trees near the bridge. Bruine Kiekendief, Visarend, Rode Wouw frequent the reeds, sometimes a Zeearend comes hunting in the lake. Kraanvogel, Ooievaar, Knobbelzwaan, Blauwe Reiger are frequently seen in the wet areas around the river. Grote Karekiet and other warblers can be heard and seen in the river area.
Best thing to do is bring a canoe or rent one in the nearby village (next to the church is a boat rental) and paddle along the channel. The birds are used to canoes and small boats. You can see the birds from really close (< 50 meters) hunting on fish in the river.
