Description
The special feature of nature reserve Heiliges Meer are the numerous large and small bodies of water, which were created over thousands of years as a result of sinkholes. Together with nutrient-poor heathland and alder marsh forest it combines various habitats close to each other. Because of all these different habitats in a small area the nature reserve also has a high diversity of bird species. Among the birds you can encounter are hribski škrjanec, drevesna cipa, pogorelček, kobilar, Sršenar and mali detel.
