Storks have settled and built nests on a number of houses in Altreu. Stork chicks can also be observed here in mid- to late June.

The Old Aare – a fascinating river landscape between Aarberg and Büren. It is a valuable habitat for numerous animals and plants. People from near and far love and appreciate it as an attractive relaxation area. This unique idyll was created as a result of the first Jura water correction in the 19th century. The Alte Aare Hydraulic Engineering Association, together with private and public partners, ensures that this landscape is preserved. Source https://www.alte-aare.ch/

The observation tower is located in the Häftli nature reserve on the Alte Aare in the municipality of Büren an der Aare in the canton of Bern. The tower, made of wood, is 10.5 meters high. 36 steps lead to the viewing platform at a height of 7.5 meters. The platform offers a view of the birdlife of the Old Aare. So far, well over 200 species of birds have been recorded in the Häftli, almost 80 of which are breeding birds. A small breeding colony of night herons from 1967 to 1970 was unique in Switzerland. Since then, it has only appeared as a migrant and rare summer guest. Important breeding birds include little grebes and great crested grebes, black kites, water rails, kingfishers, lesser spotted woodpeckers, nightingales and orioles. The Häftli is an important wintering site for waterfowl, including several hundred teals, gadwalls and wigeons. Various species of herons, birds of prey, limousines and numerous songbirds can be observed as they pass through. The Häftli is also an important retreat for amphibians. So far, grass frogs, water frogs, tree frogs, common toads, natterjack toads, great crested newts, pond newts, mountain newts and fire salamanders have been identified.

From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Jura chain and the Häftli nature reserve, which is more than 10 meters below. Unfortunately, the stairs to the viewing platform are spiral-shaped and very, very narrow. Crossbreeding is not possible and people with a little more corpulence have a hard time here.
