Description

The Belziger Landschaftswiesen is home to Germany's second largest population of Great Bustard. Especially when they are courting (March till mid May) they are a spectular sight. In winter is it also a great site for Rough-legged Buzzard and Hen Harrier. Irregular but fair chance of Short-eared Owl hunting near the observation tower during twilight.

Access

It is possible to drive all the way up to the observation tower, but the road is unpaved and can be muddy. Alternatively one can park at the edge of Freienthal and walk approx. 2 km to the tower.
