Description
Kammerweiher are two connected ponds, located on the edge of the beautiful Veldensteiner Forest, right next to the Pegnitz floodplains. A good place for waterfowl due to the general lack of bodies of water in the surrounding area.
Fiskeørn breeds in the region and is often seen in the summer months. Enkeltbekkasin, other waders and ducks such as Knekkand can be found during migration, but are not common. Isfugl, Grågås, Kanadagås, Knoppsvane and Gråhegre can be found all year round. Taffeland and Toppand can also be seen from time to time.

Access
Kammerweiher is located west of the town of Auerbach in der Oberpfalz and south of the village of Michelfeld. Access by car from Michelfeld: turn off the main road into the Veldensteiner Forstweg, go under the B85 and continue along the road. This becomes a forest path, but is easily navigable. Shortly before the river Pegnitz there is a parking lot with a turning area. Press P on the map for directions. From the parking spot the path to the first pond goes off to the left. After a few hundred meters on foot you can see the water surface. Unfortunately the area is very difficult to reach by public transport.
