Description

Radenhäuser Lache has some small islands and shallow water zones, which are feeding and resting places for many waders on migration. All native duck species can be seen here from autumn to spring. White Stork breed in the area. The birds you can see here are a mix of water birds, waders, forest birds and grassland birds. During migration sometimes rarities can show up.
