From songbirds in spring to large flocks of geese and swans in winter - many rare species can be spotted here.

Start / Finish: Aurith

Length / Duration: 8 kilometers, approx. 2 hours

Nature of the route / route structure: mainly paved and asphalted paths

Course: Aurith, Middle Oder, Kunitzer Seegraben, Aurith

Route description

The tour begins in the small village of Aurith, where you can stop for refreshments. A short walk on the dyke leads to a vantage point with sweeping views over the Middle Oder nature reserve. The landscape is characterized by extensively grazed floodplains, reed beds and oxbow lakes - a diverse mosaic of different habitats.

Numerous songbirds can be heard here in spring and summer. Reed warblers with their creaking song, reed warblers with their melodic sounds and nightingales singing their impressive song in the bushes. The flute of bright yellow orioles can be heard from the treetops. Black kites, hoopoes, red-backed shrikes and wrynecks can also be observed along the dyke.

The inland area is particularly attractive in the fall and winter. The flat lowlands then become a gathering place for geese and swans. Large groups of whooper swans and white-fronted geese can often be seen in the north-west, accompanied by majestic cranes. It's also worth taking a look at the sky: Rough-legged buzzards from the far north rattle in the air, while white-tailed eagles circle majestically all year round.

With a bit of luck, beavers and otters can also be spotted. In spring, the muffled calls of fire-bellied toads are a special nature experience.
