Opis
Wasserscheide and its surrounding mountain forests and Alpine meadows are located within the Gantrisch/Gurnigel IBA. The area is easily accessible by car and public transport. There are some amenities (hotel, restaurant) and a network of well-marked hiking paths. The area is home to some Alpine species such as osetnik , orzeł przedni , cietrzew , pomurnik , dzięcioł trójpalczasty , pardwa górska , and nagórnik. In recent years, in summer, observations of vultures, in particular sęp płowy have become more common.
Wasserscheide is also one of the Swiss hot spots for the observation of autumn migration (roughly between 15 August and 15 October). During late summer considerable passage of kania czarna and Trzmielojad can occur. This is followed in late August / early September by migration of żołna. September sees good passage of krogulec , rybołów and błotniak stawowy , and some insectivorous passerines stopping over, including muchołówka żałobna , pleszka , pokląskwa. October is the month of mass migration of passerines including zięba , grubodziób and świergotek łąkowy.
