Description

The barrage at Staustufe Ingolstadt causes the Danube to widen considerably and slow down the flow speed. Here the Danube is more like a reservoir and that is ideal for some water birds to spend the winter at this place. Also there is a small island that attracts birds. Among the birds you can encounter are Boz ördek, Fiyu, Macar ördeği, Elmabaş patka, Tepeli patka, Altıngöz, Büyük tarakdiş and Tarakdiş.
