Description
Originally, the Wiesmet used to be a lot larger than today comprising also the area of the Altmühlsee (which was established only some decades ago). It's still one of the most important areas for meadow related breeders in Bavaria, although some of its characteristic species have recently almost disappeared, such as Кульон великий, Грицик великий and Коловодник звичайний (now only irregularly breeding).
Apart from breeding season a visit in winter can also be worthwile. Лунь польовий and with luck Сова болотяна, Підсоколик малий and Зимняк can be observed hunting in the area. Check flooded areas for gulls, geese and Лебідь-кликун. Migration brings usually hundreds of Чайка чубата and Сивка звичайна, as well as in lower numbers Брижач and other waders.

Access
During breeding season it is prohibited to enter the site, but the paths around it are accessible all over the year. On the map you find two spots, which are worth a try: 1.) The road that links Muhr a. See and Streudorf and 2.) a little elevation northeast of Mörsach. The Wiesmet can easily be combined with a visit to the Altmühlsee.
