Opis
Historically, the area used to be a very large lake, ranging over 12 km from Aschersleben to Gatersleben. After draining in the 18th century it stayed to be wetlands, called "Seeländereien", and was used for peat-cutting. Agricultural use of the area was of little avail as the place remained too wet. The area is also used for open-pit brown coal mining and the subsequent flooding of the holes also supported waterlogging of the area. The forested waste dump of the coal mining can be seen to the west of the wetlands.
Nowadays it is a swampy wetland with reedbeds, shallow water and dead trees. It is a great place to see many reedbed species, ducks and waders and has new excellent birdwatching hides. The road and the surrounding fields may be flooded, too, especially in spring; so make sure to check the surrounding fields for waders.
The wetlands has many territories of brzęczka and is a stronghold for bąk and podróżniczek in Saxony-Anhalt. trzciniak, świerszczak and wąsatka are also common. błotniak stawowy and turkawka breed here and żołna visit the place for hunting insects. A kormoran mały visited the place for a very long time on a regular basis.
Spring is a good time for waders and ducks. czajka and łęczak are the most common waders; rarities included brodziec pławny, biegus arktyczny and szczudłak. The most common rail is wodnik (zwyczajny), but zielonka and kropiatka have also been recorded.
In winter it is still possible to see wąsatka, potrzos and żuraw. Other regular sights are srokosz and siwerniak.
As the place has very shallow water it might dry up temporarily. Ducks and waders will then leave the place but other bird species are still there to watch. On the other hand it can easily be flooded, especially in spring, when the roads are slippery and sinkholes may appear.
