The large water area is connected to the river Rhine and contains a vast number of birds that migrate and spend the winter in this area.
The lake of Plobsheim is a large basin that was build to regulate the water of the river Ill. There are shallow waters in the south and deeper waters in the north where the basin is conected to the river Rhine.
In migrating times the south is a good place to watch waders like rödbena , svartsnäppa , gluttsnäppa , småsnäppa and kärrsnäppa . Other migrating species are fisktärna, skräntärna and Fiskgjuse . There is a chance to see rarer species like skäggtärna , vitvingad tärna and Silkeshäger hunting for fish. In spring and summer the northern part of the area is rather uninteresting for watching birds. That changes in autumn and especially in winter.
Almost the whole year but especially in winter the area is one of the best places in the Upper Rhine region to watch all sorts of ducks, grebes and divers. Even rarer species like svartnäbbad islom , vitögd dykand and småskrake can be found here. For divers the north of the area is a good place to have a look in winter. It can be worth it to look a the gulls more closely. Sometimes there are dvärgmås , svarthuvad mås and kaspisk trut between the medelhavstrut and skrattmås .
In the forest near by you can see sommargylling and svartvit flugsnappare in summer and all sorts of woodpeckers.
The area is near the city of Strasbourg. The nearest trainstation can be found in the village Erstein. From there the site can be reached by bike. Furthermore there are many spots to park your car. Click on a P in the map for directions.
