Description
Gochsen is a small village in Baden-Württemberg, bisected by the Kocher River. The weir offers a perfect view of the river, where you can observe Серая цапля, Кряква and Большой крохаль. Small reedbeds also adjoin the weir, where you can often find Горная трясогузка, other songbirds, and, with a bit of luck, a Обыкновенный зимородок. Right next to the weir is a Белый аист nest, where breeding takes place between April and August.

Access
Gochsener Weir is best reached on foot or by bicycle. Crossing the weir is only possible on foot, and care should be taken due to slippery moss. Parking is available in a small clearing by the meadow a few meters further on, which you must cross to reach the weir.
