Opis
The former landfill is a fenced area where the grass is kept short by farm animals, but also holds some wood and rock piles where kląskawka and białorzytka can be found. Also keep an eye on the gravel path where with some luck sieweczka rzeczna can be be spotted. Opposite to the landfill there is a quarry. It is still active and hard to look into due to a lot of vegetation around. Next to it there is a bigger area behind a soil dam with shallow water ponds and low vegetation.
There, especially in the spring and summer you can find czajka, kląskawka, skowronek, potrzos and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny) and there is a pair of błotniak stawowy that regularly visits. Many dymówka and oknówka hunt for insects over the water.
During migration season in the spring and the fall, also check for waders such as kwokacz, kszyk, samotnik, but also brzegówka. I have also spotted podróżniczek and rybołów here, but both only once. The best time to visit is in late spring when all the migratory birds are back. Eventually the grass grows so tall that the water areas are barely visible anymore.

Kiesgruben und Sondermülldeponie Bornheim is best reached by bike and poorly connected to public transportation. There is the tram stop Bornheim-Hersel, but the fastest way to the area goes through an underpass underneath a freeway and that is almost always flooded. The train station Bornheim-Roisdorf is around 45 minutes walking distance.
