Description
The Volkspark Marienberg in northern Nuremberg is one of the largest inner-city green spaces and offers a varied landscape of meadows, woods, ponds, and a small stream across more than 100 hectares. This diversity makes the park not only a popular recreational area, but also a valuable habitat for numerous bird species – including rare and endangered species that rest or even breed here.
The open meadows, interspersed with hedges and groups of trees, offer ideal conditions for Жайворонок польовий, Вівсянка звичайна, Шпак звичайний, Плиска біла, and Боривітер звичайний.
The denser vegetated areas are home to typical songbirds such as Дрізд чорний, Кропивник, Вівчарик-ковалик, Кропив’янка чорноголова, Синиця блакитна, Велика синиця, and Дятел звичайний.
The Marienbach stream with its natural banks and the ponds in the park attract water birds such as Крижень, Лиска звичайна, Водяна курочка, and occasionally Чапля сіра and Рибалочка блакитний. In winter, Крех великий can also be observed – a rather rare guest in urban waters.
Thanks to its natural design and quiet retreats, Volkspark Marienberg is also attractive to rarer species – especially during the migration periods in spring and fall. These include Щеврик лісовий, Горихвістка звичайна, Сорокопуд терновий, Крутиголовка звичайна, Кобилочка-цвіркун, Плиска гірська, Крех великий, Чикотень and occasionally Зозуля звичайна.
Many species can be easily observed, especially in the early morning hours or at dusk. The mixture of open spaces, hedges, water, and old trees makes Volkspark Marienberg a valuable refuge for breeding birds and migrants in the middle of the city and a worthwhile destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers. It is best to avoid the weekends. The park is very popular. In some areas, people play sports and have barbecues.
