Of the many observation huts and lookout points in the Rieselfelder farms that I've visited, this observation hut number 4 by the large reservoir is my favorite so far! 🙂 It offers the most amazing view, considering the number and diversity of the birds usually seen. It also has a fairly long bench in front of one of the viewing hatches, including a mini-table in front of the hatch with space for mini-tripods. (Unfortunately, not all of the observation huts in the Rieselfelder farms have seating.)

It was really crowded here: the observation point was full of visitors, in front of it it was full of water birds.
