Old fishponds with extensive fishery. Important stop-over site for waders in inland Germany.
The Reckahn Fishponds – built end of 19th century – are now in extensive use and offer nice and close observations of waterbirds, birds of the reeds, ducks and waders. The area has 11 ponds of which ponds 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 are best for birdwatching (see map for numbering). There are several observation platforms around the ponds. But be aware: these are only elevated park benches and offer neither disguise nor shade.
Breeding birds are amongst others skäggdopping, Smådopping, svarthalsad dopping (rare), gråhakedopping, snatterand, knipa, vattenrall, småfläckig sumphöna (rare), brun kärrhök, kungsfiskare, trastsångare and forsärla.
The best time for waders is summer and late summer. Waders are mainly found on pond 2 (see map). If you plan only a short visit for waders, then visit this pond. Main species are tofsvipa, grönbena and enkelbeckasin (good views). Rarities in the past included spetsstjärtad snäppa, tuvsnäppa, stäppvipa, myrsnäppa, dammsnäppa and rallhäger.
During the time when adults need to feed their offspring, Fiskgjuse, havsörn and svart stork can be seen visiting the ponds. The mud flats are also used by Trana as a roosting place, so please avoid disturbances in the evening and at night. A good place for seeing vattenrall or småfläckig sumphöna is pond 3.
You can get there by car, bus or bicycle. Parking for cars is possible at pond 2 (see P on the map). Around the fishponds it is best to walk.
If you want to get there with public transport, take the train to Brandenburg Hbf. From there a bus operates to Reckahn, albeit irregularly.
You are welcome to visit the Reckahn Manor House (owner of the fish ponds) with the Rochow-Museum, a museum around a pedagogue of the 18th century, and a manor park. They are situated north of the ponds (see map). The manor park and village Reckahn can be good for brandkronad kungsfågel, gulhämpling and turkduva. vit stork nests are found in nearly every village.
