Opis
The Limbacher Teiche are a wetland north-west of Chemnitz. The ponds and wet meadows are home many birds. More than 90 bird species have been recorded breeding in the area and many more on migration. The wet meadows and reeds serve as a resting place for kszyk and bekasik. Breeding birds include potrzos, trzciniak and podróżniczek. Sometimes also błotniak stawowy. Around the Großen Teich (Great Pond) you can also observe many birds. The best view opens up from the main dam. In particular, the small island with its śmieszka colony is a highlight in itself. Other breeding birds at the Great Pond are czernica, głowienka, cierniówka and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny).
The nature trail ('Naturlehrpfad') leads through the wet meadows in the Lohteichtal where sometimes derkacz is heard. Other birds in this area are łozówka and gąsiorek. Rare birds like kropiatka, uszatka błotna and dubelt have been observed in this area. The nature trail leads you on to the Großen und Kleinen Mühlteich (Large and Small Mill Pond) where you have a chance to spot birds like zimorodek, perkozek and trzciniak.
