Description
In the large open area of the Vehnemoor typical marsh breeders such as Livadska trepteljka, Modrovoljka, Barska strnadica, Ždral, Barska šljuka, Velika carska šljuka, Crvenonogi sprudnik and Žalar slepić are common in spring and summer. There is also a small colony of Obični galeb and single pairs Sivi galeb. The forested area in the central part is a breeding place for Leganj, Brezov zviždak and Šumska trepteljka.
On spring migration parts that just have been recently renaturalised are also good spots for Waders. Most numerous species are Krivokljuni sprudnik, Sprudnik pijukavac, Sprudnik migavac, Žalar blatarić and Seda sprutka. From late April to August (best time is first decade of May) other Wader species such as Crnotrba sprutka, Bela sprutka, Šljuka kamenjarka, Riđa sprutka and Mala sprutka could be watched here.
In winter the area is used as a roosting site for huge numbers of Greater White-Fronted Geese & Bean Geese, Common Cranes and swans.

Access
There are four ways to access the moor (see map). One road through the area could be used by car, others are forbidden to use and blocked with barriers. But those can be explored on foot.
