Description
The Griesheimer Schleuse (locks) are located between Griesheim on the northern shore of the river Main and the settlement Goldstein on the southern in Schwanheim. The shore areas and the lock island around the barrage are a protected bird sanctuary. You can see both sides very well from the bridge. Sometimes rarer species also become unusually trusting, e.g. Veliki vranac, because that is where seagulls and ducks are fed. It is particularly worthwhile if you want to take a closer look at seagulls. At least eight species have already been recorded in the area. Spotting scope is highly recommended, the observation distances are often very large. Among the birds you can encounter are Veliki vranac, Morski galeb, Ušati gnjurac, Veliki ronac, Mali ronac, Crni galeb, Mrki galeb, Sinji galeb, Crnoglavi galeb, Riđoglava patka, Ćubasta patka, Karolinka and Baršunasti turpan.
