Description

Blumberger Mühle nature reserve has a NABU-Naturerlebniszentrum with a visitor centre, exhibitions, a restaurant and more. Behind it, there is a small park with nature trails, gardens, small reed ponds, a playground and hides overlooking the fishponds. There is also an outdoor enclosure with European Pond Turtles.

The fishponds are a good place to see ducks, waders in autumn, especially European Golden Plover and White-tailed Eagle can often be seen year-round. Common Crane roost on the fishponds in autumn. In summer, Black Stork often visits the fishponds and a high number of Little Grebe breed here. In winter it is a good place to see Bewick's Swan among the many Whooper Swan.

The area around the visitor centre has many species of gardens and open landscapes to offer: several warbler species, Common Nightingale and sometimes also Thrush Nightingale, or Red-backed Shrike and Linnet. The Blumberger Mühle also hosts a breeding pair of Grey Wagtail. Further common species are Common Kingfisher, Great Egret and White Wagtail.
