Descrição

The Urftsee is a big artificial lake in the middle of the Eifel National Park. You can make a big loop around the lake and cross the Urfttalsperre (the dam). The lake attracts birds like Pato-real, Ganso do Egipto and Mergulhão-de-crista and has a big Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas breeding colony on the central island. But the surrounding slopes, hills and forest are more interesting birdwise. You can encounter birds like Milhafre-preto, Milhafre-real and if you are lucky a Cegonha-preta (best chance you have is around the dam). Besides the great views from the Urfttalsperre, and the Vogelsang area, on the northern side of the lake there is also a viewing platform where spotting scopes are installed.
