Description
The former gravel mining area Plessenteich has been transformed into a bird sanctuary. Shallow water zones and islands have been created. The lake landscape serves more than 230 bird species as a breeding and resting place. From the observation tower and several other viewpoints you have good views on the area. The Plessenteich is good for birding at any time of the year. Regular breeding birds are Great Reed Warbler, Black-headed Gull, Common Tern, Little Ringed Plover and Northern Lapwing. Also Common Kingfisher, Yellowhammer, Red Kite and Mediterranean Gull are often seen. Annually recurring migrating birds include Common Teal, Red-crested Pochard, Ruddy Shelduck, Great Egret, Common Sandpiper, Ruff, Common Greenshank and Common Snipe.
