Description
The Neolith Teich belongs to the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and is about 107 hectares in size. The banks of the pond, which is actually more of a small lake, are overgrown with reeds and therefore offer many hiding places for birds. And the meadows next to the pond are perfect for feeding. Poplar and pine forests, shrubs and grassland complete the picture. Especially in the period from September to December it is worth a visit. During this time, more than 30,000 Tundragås and Tundrasædgås stay in the area. Sometimes there are also rarer guests among them, like Kortnebbgås, Dverggås, Hvitkinngås, Ringgås or Rødhalsgås. The area is also rich in ducks. You can see the more common ducks, but also sometimes Rødhodeand, Stjertand, Bergand, Brunnakke and Hvitøyeand. Of the total of 85 bird species recorded at Neolith Teich, about 23 are also breeding birds. Among them are ducks like Snadderand, Skjeand, Knekkand, Taffeland, but also Dvergdykker, Gråstrupedykker, Rørdrum, Dvergrørdrum, Sivsanger, Rørsanger, Trostesanger, Pungmeis and Sivhauk. Sometimes Havørn is seen around the lake.

The nature reserve borders in the east on the Köthen–Aken railway. Otherwise, it is mainly bordered by public roads. In the northwest of the pond there is an observation platform from which the pond can be viewed. Note: The Neolith pond is used for fishing during the summer months (15 July to 30 September).
