Description
The Weidmoos was originally an extensive raised bog. For many decades, peat was extracted here on an industrial level. After abandonment, the Weidmoos developed into a bird habitat of European significance. Over 150 species of bird have been identified so far. The Mavigerdan is often to be seen at the Weidmoos, whilst Saz delicesi preys over the extensive reeded areas, and rare waders and waterfowl such as Su çulluğu and Benekli suyelvesi are breeding here. Orman düdükçünü, Döşüşkenkuş, Erguvani balýkçýl and other migrating birds use the Weidmoos as an important stopover site.
