Description

Teichgebiet Tiefenau is a mosaic of small and large ponds, riparian forest, reed zones and adjacent meadows and fields. The paths run very close to the water, partly between the ponds with a good view of the water. Especially during the migratory season in spring and autumn, rarities can be seen, which are on migration or stay in the area during the winter. Among the birds that have been observed are Белоглазый нырок, Американский лебедь, Щёголь, Длинноносый крохаль, Кваква and Белощекая крачка.
