Description
The former gravel mining area Plessenteich has been transformed into a bird sanctuary. Shallow water zones and islands have been created. The lake landscape serves more than 230 bird species as a breeding and resting place. From the observation tower and several other viewpoints you have good views on the area. The Plessenteich is good for birding at any time of the year. Regular breeding birds are Lăcar mare, Pescăruș râzător, Chiră de baltă, Prundăraș gulerat mic and Nagâț. Also Pescăraș albastru, Presură galbenă, Gaie roșie and Pescăruș cu cap negru are often seen. Annually recurring migrating birds include Rață mică, Rață cu ciuf, Călifar roșu, Egretă mare, Fluierar de munte, Bătăuș, Fluierar cu picioare verzi and Becațină comună.
