Description

Naturschutzgebiet Hasenfeld and Rheinvorland is located between Eversael and Ossenberg. At the beginning you cross open cultural landscapes and meadows, where species such as Mišar or in winter Lisasta guska are at home. Then you climb the dike and get an overview of the partially flooded meadows, and you immediately notice the singing Poljska ševa. In winter it is teeming with Lisasta guska and Guska ljigarica.

Then you come to the first lake, the water level of which is determined exclusively by precipitation. The migration time is definitely the most productive time here. Then you can, among other things see Žalar slepić, Krivokljuni sprudnik as well as Ribar and . In winter there are species like Mali ronac, Riđoglava patka or Veliki ronac.

The path continues through a landscape of wet meadow and floodplain, which is the busiest in summer, for example here you will find Poljska ševa, Livadska trepteljka, Žuta pliska as well as Fazan and . Large swarms of Zviždara also stay here at migration time. Then you reach the flood lakes, here you can find species like Velika bela čaplja, Barska šljuka, Crvenonogi sprudnik and Muljača.

On the other side of the dike begins a landscape of open space, isolated trees and bushes. Directly on the dike is a colony of Siva čaplja, further inland you can find species such as Rusi svračak, Obična grmuša, Strnadica žutovoljka and Sprudnik pijukavac. The way back leads through fields and meadows, which are not so productive in summer, but in winter you can find Guska glogovnjača (tundranska) here. Alternatively, you can of course walk back along the dike.
