Beskrivning
Navigation is quite simple: Follow the small road northwards from the car park. Soon afterwards you can look on a shallow pond. On its shoreline regularly common wader species like mindre strandpipare, grönbena and others can be observed. Brun glada and brun kärrhök are soaring often above the area.
If you continue on this road you're approaching the railway. Shortly before the crossing a way leads westwards. The reeds there hold vassångare and trastsångare. According to the sign posts it is apparently allowed to walk on it, but it leeds to the local gravel pit, so be careful and respect possible future changes. Where the reeds turn into bushes and riparian forest you can expect brunsiska, sydnäktergal, sommargylling, gök and gråspett. gråhäger breed in the area, but out of sight from the public paths. In recent years single purpurhäger have tried to breed as well, in most years in mixed pairs. So pay attention to overflying herons!
The path immediately north of the railway crossing would lead directly to an observation hide, which overlooked a pond with interesting shallow-waterzones and was surrounded by riparian forest. In the evening hours it had been a good place for natthäger. However, as of 2024 the last part of the path is closed for public. The same counts for the path leading eastwards along the shoreline of the activ quarry ponds.
From the southwestern shore of the largest pond you have at least good chances to encounter with the key species, the only breeding pair of fisktärna in Upper Franconia. Pay there furthermore attention to backsvala and medelhavstrut. Out of the scrubs around the ponds kärrsångare, blåhake and sometimes gräshoppsångare are singing. Sadly, it's currently not possible to get to the lake in the northeast, because the sandbanks were attractive for resting waders in the past years. Hopefully, the path will be opened in the future again!
