Descrição
Originally, the Wiesmet used to be a lot larger than today comprising also the area of the Altmühlsee (which was established only some decades ago). It's still one of the most important areas for meadow related breeders in Bavaria, although some of its characteristic species have recently almost disappeared, such as Maçarico-real, Maçarico-de-bico-direito and Perna-vermelha-comum (now only irregularly breeding).
Apart from breeding season a visit in winter can also be worthwile. Tartaranhão-azulado and with luck Coruja-do-nabal, Esmerilhão and Búteo-calçado can be observed hunting in the area. Check flooded areas for gulls, geese and Cisne-bravo. Migration brings usually hundreds of Abibe-comum and Tarambola-dourada, as well as in lower numbers Combatente and other waders.

Acesso
During breeding season it is prohibited to enter the site, but the paths around it are accessible all over the year. On the map you find two spots, which are worth a try: 1.) The road that links Muhr a. See and Streudorf and 2.) a little elevation northeast of Mörsach. The Wiesmet can easily be combined with a visit to the Altmühlsee.
