Description
The large reed areas of Schweinsberger Moor are breeding sites for rare warblers and tits. The small pond is a fairly visited resting place for geese, teal, grebes but also raptors like harriers. Especially during migration there is always a chance to spot a rarity and during spring and summer it invites for a nice walk around the vivid reed fen and through the little forest.
