Description
The Kleine Weikerlsee and the Große Weikerlsee are located in the Traun-Donau-Auen nature reserve, on the confluence of the rivers Donau and Traun. Along the banks of the lakes you will find birds typical of the region such as Лебедь-шипун, Малая поганка, Серый гусь and Чомга. The area is especially good in winter for overwintering ducks such as Красноносый нырок, Красноголовый нырок, Хохлатая чернеть, Белоглазый нырок, Гоголь and Большой крохаль, but also Малый баклан, Водяной пастушок and Большая белая цапля can be observed.
Because the lakes are surrounded by forest you can also find many woodpeckers and other woodland birds. In the summer, when the area attracts many holidaymakers, far fewer birds can be seen.
