Beskrivning
The birdlife is rich in the Garstadter Seen (lakes). Meaning a total of more than 270 recorded species of which more than a 100 are breeders. For this reason a visit in late spring is highly recommendable, even though of course it's worth a visit all around the year. On migration regularly rarer species are detected and particularly for waterfowl it's an important resting site in the region. The site is best explored on a 4 km circuit walk.
The woods hold all woodpecker species of the lowland like gråspett, mellanspett and mindre hackspett. Particularly in the "Garstadter Holz" pay furthermore attention to halsbandsflugsnappare. During spring the sound of trastsångare, blåhake and vassångare is very characteristic. With a bit of patience dvärgrördrom should be audible and even show up briefly; they prefer the reedy pond south of the tower. Once the purpurhäger has been a regular breeder, recently however their number has decreased as they've mostly moved to other wetland areas. In the winter the patient observer might even get a glimpse of a rördrom.
The lakes are surrounded by an open area intersected with bushes, where in the summer turturduva, törnskata and göktyta can be expected. In the winter months Varfågel are recorded regularly.
After the large influx of dvärgskarv in Germany beginning summer 2021 , about 30 individuals have remained in the reserve during the winter and have succesfully bred in 2022.

Tillgänglighet
Leave the motorway A70 at the exit "Schweinfurt-Zentrum" and follow the road southwards for 4 km. Turn to the right following the signs at first towards Röthlein and afterwards to Heidenfeld. Shortly after you have passed Heidenfeld on your left hand side turn right to the first lane (driving on it is permitted). Finally you arrive at a crossing, where the car park is situated.
The bus line 8137 (starts in Schweinfurt) stops at Heidenfeld. Alternatively, you can access the site by bicycle (the next train station is located in Schweinfurt), however the circuit walk itself isn't suitable for cycling.
