Wedeler Marsch & Hetlinger Marsch

Schleswig-Holstein  >  Germany

Great place for wetland and grassland birds, including a superb visitor center, where birds (including rarities) can be observed up-close.

Beschrijving

Wedeler Marsch and Hetlinger Marsch are two adjacent wetland areas located along the Elbe River. On the northern side of the dike wide grassland plains offer great feeding opportunities to thousands of Geese (especially Brandgans), ducks, raptors and waders. On the southern side of the dyke, waders, gulls and Zeearend can be found along the shoreline of the Elbe, feeding in the mudflats. Bird migration here can be great, several rare species breed here and the observation situation at "NABU Vogelstation Wedeler Marsch" is phenomenal, often including rarities and scarcities.

Toegang

Wedeler Marsch and Hetlinger Marsch are located 25 km west of Hamburg near the town of Wedel along the Elbe River. Much of the area is closed off to cars. Either you drive to "Fährmannssand" or "Hetlinger Schanze", where you can park your car or you take the subway "S1" until the station "Wedel" and then walk/take the bike. Press P on the map for directions to a parking spot. A bike can be of great use, as the conditions are optimal, it is a big area and you can cover much more ground.
