One can also spot Лысуха, Малый зуёк, Чомга, Хохлатая чернеть, Большой улит and Большой крохаль.

Access
Access is from the Negenborn - Abbensen road on the northern edge of Negenborn. There is a small car park there (marked on the map, press P for directions). You can walk or cycle along the north-west and north sides of the lake on a dirt road to the two viewing points. The rest of the lake is inaccessible because of the active mining.
