Description
This birding spot is made up of two separate areas that lie right next to each other.
The first is the Pantener Moor, a beautiful little piece of landscape that is a nature reserve. It is made up of fields, patches of trees and hedges, and a moor pond. There is a nice view of the area from the lookout near Panten (see map).
The second part of this spot is the route up and down the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, 500m to the east of the Moor area. There is a well maintained path on both sides of the canal in the top half of the route, north of Donnerschleuse, but the path south of the Donnerschleuse crossing is only on the east side. The canal-side paths are mostly open, with sporadic tree cover and forests alongside.
Both areas are home to a wide range of birds, and great for a peaceful visit all year round. Birds that can be found here include: Gușă vânătă, Mugurar, Becațină comună, Pescăraș albastru , Gaie roșie, Gaie neagră, Lăcar mic, Grelușel de zăvoi, Cârstel de baltă, Cocor, Ciocănitoare neagră, Ciocănitoare de stejar, Corcodel mic, Codalb, Uligan pescar, Erete de stuf, Uliu porumbar, Șoimul rândunelelor and Barză albă.
