Description
The Hollerner See is a 30-hectare quarry lake that was created on the site of a former gravel pit. Although the lake was only completed in 2019 and there are many bathers in the summer, many species of birds have settled there. Different species of ducks, Toppdykker, Dvergdykker and Grågås can be found on the lake. The geese use the lake as a breeding and moulting ground.
In spring and summer Trostesanger, Rørsanger, Sivspurv and Dvergrørdrum breed in the reeds on the shore. Dverglo and Strandsnipe can often be seen on the small island. In the area around the lake you can see Fasan, Rapphøne, Grønnspett and Gulspurv all year round. Myrsanger, Gulsanger, Tornsanger and Løvsanger in the summer months.
