Description
The Garchinger Heide is primarily known for its botanical rarities, for example one of the last German occurrences of the Eastern pasqueflower (Pulsatilla patens). Due to the strict protection and biotope maintenance, the area has also become a retreat for field and meadow birds that have become rare elsewhere. Breeding birds include Potârniche, Prepeliță, Fazan, Nagâț, Cânepar and Presură sură, as well as the omnipresent Ciocârlie and Presură galbenă.
In spring and autumn, you can see Pietrar sur, Mărăcinar mare, Mărăcinar negru and Codobatură galbenă resting on migration. Erete vânăt and Sfrâncioc mare are present in winter. Lebădă de vară, Gâscă de vară, Găinușă de baltă and Lișiță breed on the quarry pond (Baggersee am Hart).
You can also take a little detour north to the small nearby nature reserve Echinger Lohe, where Ciocănitoare neagră can be observed. The circular walking route indicated on the map also passes through Echinger Lohe.
