On the large open water surfaces Чернь червонодзьоба, Попелюх звичайний and Чернь чубата are common. At the smaller pond Rußlohweiher to the north, in addition to various ducks, there is a breeding ground for the Лунь очеретяний. A Скопа breeds at the pond Häusleweiher. Large numbers of Лебідь-шипун, Казарка канадська and Каргарка нільська can often be found here. The pond Paulusweiher has completely silted up to form a low moor and is overgrown with reeds. Here Сорокопуд терновий, Баранець звичайний and Сутора вусата, або синиця вусата can be observed.

Click on a P in the map to get directions to the parking place of your choice. Access by bike is possible, but not all paths are open to bikes.
