Descripción

The Isar around Plattling's dam (Staustufe) provides excellent habitat for a diverse range of birds throughout the year. You can walk along both sides of the river beneath huge oaks and poplars, with smaller trees and bushes creating varied habitat. For example, Martín Pescador Común regularly shoot along the Isar or the small side channels, while Pico Mediano is a regular find in the mature trees.

Winter is particularly rewarding when large numbers of ducks are aggregating below the dam including Porrón Osculado, Serreta Grande, Ánade friso, and Porrón Moñudo. Bisbita Alpino descends from the mountains in winter and can be easily observed on the rocky shores, giving company to the year-round Lavandera Blanca and Lavandera Cascadeña.

Spring and early summer are also excellent times to visit. A highlight is the breeding Ánsar común. You can often hear Oropéndola Europea calling and may find not only Curruca Capirotada and Curruca Mosquitera but also Zarcero Políglota in the bushes. Reed-nesting species breed in the reedbeds above the dam.

Summer sees many swimmers using the area, making it less optimal for birding. Autumn is relatively quiet between departing migrants and arriving winter visitors, but it can still be nice to walk along the Isar.

Accesso

Staustufe Plattling is located directly south of the town of Plattling. Parking is available at the dam, which is accessible by car. But you can also start the round from the Isarbrücke (B8), which is not far from Plattling's center. Another alternative parking space is just beyond the bridge at the Solschwelle (Isarwelle). Press a P on the map for directions to a parking spot.

The circular trail is around 3.5 km. A shorter trip to just the two main sites would visit the area above the dam and the main waterfowl roost below on the left side, which are about 500m apart.
