The Zitzschner Bucht bei Zwenkau area offers a large variety of habitats (lake, shore, rocky stream, meadows, forest) and bird species. With some luck, you can spot Smålom , Storlom or Svartand on the water (beside the more regular waterfowl). On the shore, you may be able to find Vipe, Dverglo or Strandsnipe, etc. At the rocky stream, you can observe species such as Steinskvett, Svartstrupe and Linerle. In the meadow and forest parts, you can spot and hear Sørnattergal, Tornsanger, Ravn, Tornirisk, Tornskate and Tårnfalk.

Access
Between the Zwenkauer lake and Zitzschen, there is a parking lot (marked with a P on the map). Coming by public transport, you can use the bus stop "Zitzschen (Zwenkau), Großdalziger Str." or take the train to "Großdalzig (Zwenkau), Bahnhof". If you do the latter, it is recommended to take the bike for the remaining distance.
The area itself should be explored on foot or by bike. A circular path is theoretically possible, but you would have to walk or cycle around the Zwenkauer lake, which ist quite some distance.
