Descrição
The Knielinger See is one of many former gravel pits along the river Rhine and the largest waterbody in or around the city of Karlsruhe. It is easily accessible with good paths and numerous viewpoints. In winter, the lake hosts a large number of wintering ducks, grebes, herons, swans and geese. These include Frisada , Zarro-negrinha , Zarro-comum , Piadeira , Pato-olho-d'ouro , Pato-trombeteiro , Marrequinha-comum , Mergulhão-pequeno and Mergulhão-de-crista. There are always a good variety of species present and rarer species such as Arrabio, Pato-de-bico-vermelho, Zarro-bastardo, Marreco, Pato-fusco, Mobêlha-pequena, Corvo-marinho-pigmeu, Merganso-de-poupa, Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto, Mergulhão-de-pescoço-ruivo , Mergulhão-de-pescoço-castanho, Pato-de-cauda-afilada, Zarro-de-colar and Eider-edredão have all been seen here before.
In spring and summer the lake itself is quieter, although there are still many interesting birds around: Andorinha-do-mar-comum can be seen fishing and rarer terns such as Gaivina-preta are possible. Milhafre-preto are frequently seen in spring and summer. The woodlands and meadows surrounding the lake are home to a good number of species, such as Pica-pau-preto , Pica-pau-verde and Papa-moscas-cinzento. Warbler species such as Felosa-das-figueiras or Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto can be heard in spring, along with Rouxinol-comum.
