Beskrivning
The Fiener Bruch is a vast 9,000-hectare lowland area and an important bird sanctuary. The landscape consists of wet meadows, moorlands, and grasslands. It is one of only three breeding areas of stortrapp left in Germany. After the population in the Fiener Bruch collapsed to about 10 animals in the 1990s and the population was threatened with extinction, it has been recovering since the beginning of the 21st century due to comprehensive protective measures. In 2025 there are more than 100 individuals in the Fiener Bruch. In the middle of the Fiener Bruch is the Königsroder Hof with an observation tower and an information centre on the protection of stortrapp.
The area also serves as a breeding ground and resting place for migratory birds, with thousands of ljungpipare and tofsvipa passing through during migration. Other birds you can observe include sånglärka, gulärla and kornsparv.
