Beschrijving
The Europaschutzgebiet Untere Traun surrounding the Schacherteich pond comprises riparian forest, still waters, reedbeds, and open meadow areas. This diverse landscape provides habitat for numerous breeding, resting, and migratory birds and is among the best birdwatching areas in Upper Austria's central region.
Waterfowl such as ducks, grebes, and coots can regularly be observed at the Schacherteich pond. Kleine Karekiet, Rietgors, and sometimes even Grote Karekiet inhabit the reedbeds. The riparian forests provide habitat for Grote Bonte Specht, Middelste Bonte Specht, Wielewaal, Zwartkop, and various tit species. During migration, Blauwe Reiger, Grote Zilverreiger, Aalscholver, and various waders frequently appear on the shallow banks. Birds of prey such as Buizerd, Torenvalk, and occasionally Bruine Kiekendief can be seen over the meadows and along the Traun River.
The area is easily accessible and particularly well-suited for quiet observation by the water, as well as during migration periods in spring and autumn.
