Vogelfreistätte Flachwasser- und Inselzone im Altmühlsee, Nature reserve in Gunzenhausen and Muhr am See, Germany
The reserve encompasses a northwestern section of Lake Altmühl with an island group and shallow water zones covering two square kilometers of protected habitat.
The reserve was established in 1987 with forty small inland islands, mud banks, and extended shorelines designed to support diverse bird populations.
The environmental station LBV-Umweltstation Altmühlsee organizes educational programs and guided tours for students to learn about local birds and conservation methods.
Visitors can access the northern part of the bird island through a barrier-free nature trail that includes observation points and an observation tower.
More than 200 bird species utilize this biotope annually as feeding, resting, and molting habitat, with numbers reaching their peak during migration periods.
