Description
The lake Erlachsee is completely fenced to protect the birds. But an observation cabin at the southern shore offers good opportunities for bird spotting without causing disturbance. In addition, on the western shore the surrounding footpath also at one point allows a view on the lake.
Several gravel islands were created especially as breeding places for the kulík riečný, however, they don't seem to have nested there, at least not in recent years. In contrast, potápka chochlatá, kormorán veľký, volavka popolavá, čajka žltonohá, chochlačka vrkočatá, kačička mandarínska, hus divá, bernikľa veľká and lyska čierna can be seen regularly. With a bit of luck, you will also spot rybárik riečny, kačica lyžičiarka, kalužiačik malý, beluša veľká, potápka malá and others.
The surrounding Oberwald forest offers further opportunities for observations of for example tesár čierny, ďateľ veľký, ďateľ prostredný, žlna zelená and mlynárka dlhochvostá.
