Extensive lowland, criss-crossed by numerous ditches, in which large flood plains are formed by damming in winter and spring.
Große Grabenniederung is an area of extensively farmed lowland and an important breeding and resting area for many geese, ducks, waders and other meadow breeders.
Гуска білолоба and Казарка білощока rest here by the thousands in late winter, furthermore Свищ євразійський, Шилохвіст and Широконіска північна in spring by the hundreds. The breeding birds include Журавель сірий, Чирянка велика, Чайка чубата, Коловодник звичайний, Очеретянка лучна and Синьошийка. Limikoles like Брижач and Коловодник болотяний regularly rest on the spring migration. Чепура велика, Лелека чорний, Орлан-білохвіст, Лунь очеретяний and Сапсан regularly use the area for foraging. In winter, nordic Geese like Tundra Bean Goose and Гуска білолоба can be seen, as well as Лебідь-кликун, Лунь польовий, Зимняк, Підсоколик малий, Сірий (Великий) сорокопуд and Чечітка гірська.
You can explore the area from Gülpe in the northwest, from Wolsier in the north or from Parey in the south. There is a bus stop in Wolsier.
The route shown in the map consists of paved roads (the infamous “Plattenwege” of the former GDR), only the last section in front of the hut is a grassy path. From the birdwatching hide you have the best overview of the area.
Important: the part of the route between Wolsier and Parey is closed to vehicles between March 15th and May 20th!
