Heinz-Sielmann-Weiher

The Heinz-Sielmann-Weiher spans 1.3 hectares, featuring shallow water pools, ditches, reeds, flowering borders, and field hedges surrounded by a water buffalo pasture.

The wetland area was established in 2005 as a pilot project by the Heinz Sielmann Foundation, under the guidance of ornithologist Professor Peter Berthold.

The site includes an educational nature trail extending 4.5 kilometers through the landscape, connecting visitors with local flora and fauna identification stations.

Visitors can access the observation platform via the old Roman road, with designated paths for both pedestrians and cyclists throughout the protected area.

The reserve houses 340 flowering plant species and serves as a nesting ground for 181 bird species, including white storks that regularly breed on dedicated platforms.
