Description
The Tonkuhle lake not only has a beautiful circular path with a well-located viewing platform, but is also very popular with anglers. Many birds gather here in all seasons. You can observe Rață mare, Corcodel mare, Lișiță and Găinușă de baltă all year round. In winter, many Cormoran mare populate the lake and during the breeding season you can also find Gâscă de vară. If you're lucky, you can also spot Pescăraș albastru.
Many songbirds such as Pițigoi mare, Pițigoi albastru and Cojoaică cu degete scurte can also be seen here regularly. If you are interested, you can combine your visit with the nearby ponds Blesshuhnteich or Niklasteich, some of which are also home to several species of birds. On warm summer evenings, many bats can also be seen around Tonkuhle lake.

Access
The Tonkuhle lake is located in the southwest of the city of Oldenburg. Some bus stops, such as "Friedhof Eversten" or "Bodenburgallee", are within walking distance of the lake. Parking is usually free on the side of Hundsmühler Straße. The best way to do the 1 km circular path around the lake is on foot, but it is also no problem with a stroller, wheelchair or similar. The only problem is that some of the paths can be a bit muddy.
