Species of European-wide importance such as cranes, black and middle spotted woodpeckers, pygmy flycatchers, kingfishers, red kites – as well as creatures that should be protected simply because of their amusing names – like the barely 16mm small narrow-banded broad-winged diving beetle, are found here. The deeply cut Garrensee channel with its astonishing differences in elevation still lets you sense the enormous forces that once shaped this area. Often, magical views are offered.
