There's still a lot of Züdzucker to see here. It's really interesting that old sewage treatment plants have been transformed into a nature reserve.

Nice rest area. In spring there is a lot going on here due to the breeding season of seagulls and other bird species

Birdwatching Hide Wagbachniederung

Highlight • Rest Area

In the Wagbachniederung you can see many birds nesting during the breeding season.
The cottage does not necessarily need it, but you can sit in it for watching.

May 29, 2023,🌞 nur die Frösche 🐸🐸🐸 waren lauter 🌞
After yesterday's long tour with many meters of altitude, I was drawn back to the water today 😊
The Wagenbachniederung has now grown so much that you can hardly see anything. It was also quiet when looking for telephoto lenses and photo enthusiasts.
But my way was blocked by a group of 30-40 people 😯 older people who sweetened their …

The Ermitage and the Wagnachniederungen nature reserve near Waghäusel offer beautiful opportunities for walks or hikes.
The former sedimentation ponds of the Südzucker factory are now a beautiful nature reserve. Many birdwatchers 😉 were out and about with cameras and binoculars.
And then there's the Ermitage, a beautiful location. On Sundays, it also offers a museum, small exhibitions, and a …

I wanted to show my parents the Wagbach lowlands and the many animal species that live there. Unfortunately, there were surprisingly few animals today 🥲.
The landscape itself is very beautiful though, so we enjoyed it anyway ☺️.
I have to admit that I didn't know what a nightingale looked like and therefore didn't know what I was photographing today, …

Even though the clocks were set an hour ahead tonight, I was awake even earlier than usual. Instead of staying in bed any longer, I got up and was at the starting point for today's tour at around 8.15 a.m.... the Wagbach lowlands.

This week I have two days off, time to make up for lost hours 🤗

Just like yesterday, today started gray and foggy again 🙄 and the promised sun didn't appear until midday.

I'm always amazed at how quickly the weather can change... My start in the Wagbach lowlands was still gray ☁️ and then everything changed very quickly... 🌞🌞🌞 …

No sun, the migratory birds are gone. Nevertheless, there was a lot to discover. And an encounter with a great photographer who doesn't share his extraordinary photos online. What a pity...

5 a.m. ... my alarm clock rings 🥱😴
I have the day off and want to try to be in the Wagbach lowlands for sunrise 🌅 🥾🥾
"The culprit 😉" for this tour is @Kristian, who got kingfishers in front of his camera there yesterday.

It's 6 a.m. and my alarm clock is ringing 🥱
My plan for today is to be at the Wagbach lowlands in time for sunrise and I'm hoping for flocks of starlings. The internet says the chance is greatest in the evening, but some sites also refer to the time of sunrise. My thought is... if you go to sleep …
