The Leukerfeld is an area with a series of ponds that are good for birdwatching. A very interesting area to see Guêpier d'Europe.
This region in Wallis is one of the most bird-rich areas in Switzerland. Through the hedge landscape of Susten and Agarn you reach the Leukerfeld which has a series of ponds. These ponds are a remnant of an old arm of the river Rotten (Rhone). From the observation posts you can observe Martin-pêcheur d'Europe and from May the colored Guêpier d'Europe. This is so far the most beautiful bird area I have seen in Switzerland. The colony of Guêpier d'Europe is especially beautiful.
Parking is free, but there are few parking options. You have to walk about 2 km to get there. Public transport: one can either travel by train to Leuk or Turtmann station. From Leuk station, an easier route is to cross the river to the other side, and walk along the hiking trail (along the river but at a slightly elevated level), before crossing the next bridge towards the golf course. A more straightforward way is to walk from Turtmann station, going first towards Turtmann Dorf, and then follow the hiking trail (all flat) towards the hide. In the summer, the hide offers the best spot to see the bee-eaters.
I was here at the end of August and then the bee-eaters flew back and forth. I don't know how long this has been like this.
