This artificial reservoir on the River Aare has developed into a top site for wildfowl in close vicinity of Switzerland's capital.
The Wohlensee stretches about 7 km from Wohlen to Muehleberg and is bordered by reedbeds. The aquatic vegetation attracts a vast number of birds, in particular wintering waterfowl: labuť veľká, kačica chripľavka, chochlačka vrkočatá, chochlačka sivá, hrdzavka potápavá, kačica chrapka. The surrounding forests host woodland species such as ďateľ veľký, tesár čierny, žlna zelená. Recent restoration of hedges in the surrounding fields has seen the return of strakoš obyčajný. During migration thousands of martins and swallows.
Public transport (Bus Line 101) will get you from Bern main station to Kappelenring West. If by car, you can park at the Wohleibruecke. You can explore the area by foot or bicycle.
In summer there is a nice bar at the Wohleibrucke. The area can get quite crowded on sunny days, and parking space can be limited.
