Description
Gochsen is a small village in Baden-Württemberg, bisected by the Kocher River. The weir offers a perfect view of the river, where you can observe volavka popelavá, kachna divoká and morčák velký. Small reedbeds also adjoin the weir, where you can often find konipas horský, other songbirds, and, with a bit of luck, a ledňáček říční. Right next to the weir is a čáp bílý nest, where breeding takes place between April and August.

Access
Gochsener Weir is best reached on foot or by bicycle. Crossing the weir is only possible on foot, and care should be taken due to slippery moss. Parking is available in a small clearing by the meadow a few meters further on, which you must cross to reach the weir.
