Description
The Landschaftspark Hachinger Tal is a 150 hectares area in the south of Munich that is part of the Munich gravel plain. It contains the rest of a heath area and was used as a military airfield from 1933 to 1997, with the runway still existing. From March on, you hear the sound of singing škovránok poľný from the meadows, in May/June also sometimes prepelica poľná. There are protected areas for meadow breeders, see local signs. In spring there are birdsongs from strnádka obyčajná and vrchárka modrá in the bushes, while in May/June you find strakoš obyčajný and singing penica slávikovitá, sedmihlások hájový and trsteniarik obyčajný.
During spring and autumn migration good chances of pŕhľaviar čiernohlavý, pŕhľaviar červenkastý, skaliarik sivý or muchárik čiernohlavý, with luck also rare migrants like dudok chochlatý or ľabtuška poľná. In winter especially the little stream (Hachinger Bach) can be interesting, with rybárik riečny, trasochvost horský and sometimes močiarnica mekotavá or močiarnička tichá. From time to time several rarities have been observed in the park, like myšiarka močiarna, strakoš kolesár and penica fúzatá.
