Description
The river Elz near the town of Köndringen was restored in 2017 as a compensation site for railway construction. The newly restored river gives home species like vodomec and mali deževnik. Also veliki žagar and siva čaplja can be regularly observed here. During migration season pikasti martinec or kozica can be observed along the river or the wet meadows. Even rarer species like mala bela caplja or kvakač have already been observed here.
