Complex of 8 ponds that stretches from Frohburg in a westerly direction to the village of Eschefeld. Almost 250 bird species have been recorded in the area.
The Eschefelder Teiche are a nature reserve located 30 km south of Leipzig. The area consists of 8 ponds and covers an area of 270 hectares. The ponds were artificially created in the 18th century for fishing. The largest pond is the pond near Eschefeld. The ponds are an important feeding, breeding and resting area for numerous waterfowl species. The surrounding area is mainly used for agriculture. On the edge of the large pond there is the Naturschutzstation (nature conservation station) Teichhaus. It is run by NABU (BirdLife Germany) and also has a restaurant. On the banks of the large pond on the artificially created dam you can find a bird hide.
The area has a skrattmås colony on the largest of the 8 lakes. In the noisy colony svarthalsad dopping and svarthuvad mås also find shelter. The most important breeding birds include rördrom and dvärgrördrom, brun kärrhök, trastsångare, pungmes, skäggmes, sydnäktergal and blåhake. All these species are best observed between April and early June. Depending on the season ducks like årta, rödhuvad dykand, knipa, storskrake, Skedand, gravand and stjärtand can be seen.
During migration periods, other species arrive. Fiskgjuse and havsörn are regular guests who prey on food in the waters. There are also svarttärna as well as dvärgmås. Another interesting group during migration is resting waders. These include tofsvipa, mindre strandpipare, större strandpipare, enkelbeckasin, gluttsnäppa, drillsnäppa, grönbena, rödbena and brushane. Sometimes rare birds like tuvsnäppa, dammsnäppa and smalnäbbad simsnäppa are observed.
