Also Bluethroat , Bearded Tit, Penduline Tit are possible.
In autumn and winter it is an important site for geese, Common Crane, grebes and ducks. The large flocks of geese sometimes attract White-tailed Eagle . Other birds of prey include harriers, kites and buzzards.
The observation tower can best be reached via Netzen. Follow the signs "Beobachtungsturm" there is a parking area very close to the tower. From there walk to the tower which provides a nice view over the lake, and then follow the canal which goes to Rietzer See.
