Description
The former gravel mining area Plessenteich has been transformed into a bird sanctuary. Shallow water zones and islands have been created. The lake landscape serves more than 230 bird species as a breeding and resting place. From the observation tower and several other viewpoints you have good views on the area. The Plessenteich is good for birding at any time of the year. Regular breeding birds are rakar, rečni galeb, navadna čigra, mali deževnik and priba. Also vodomec, rumeni strnad, rjavi škarnik and črnoglavi galeb are often seen. Annually recurring migrating birds include kreheljc, tatarska žvižgavka, rjasta kozarka, velika bela čaplja, mali martinec, togotnik, zelenonogi martinec and kozica.
