Beskrivning
The Knielinger See is one of many former gravel pits along the river Rhine and the largest waterbody in or around the city of Karlsruhe. It is easily accessible with good paths and numerous viewpoints. In winter, the lake hosts a large number of wintering ducks, grebes, herons, swans and geese. These include snatterand , vigg , brunand , bläsand , knipa , Skedand , Kricka , Smådopping and skäggdopping. There are always a good variety of species present and rarer species such as stjärtand, rödhuvad dykand, bergand, årta, svärta, smålom, dvärgskarv, småskrake, svarthalsad dopping, gråhakedopping , svarthakedopping, alfågel, ringand and ejder have all been seen here before.
In spring and summer the lake itself is quieter, although there are still many interesting birds around: fisktärna can be seen fishing and rarer terns such as svarttärna are possible. Brun glada are frequently seen in spring and summer. The woodlands and meadows surrounding the lake are home to a good number of species, such as spillkråka , Gröngöling and grå flugsnappare. Warbler species such as trädgårdssångare or svarthätta can be heard in spring, along with sydnäktergal.
