The ornithological observatory was created in 2011 by the ONF and the City as part of the International Year of the Forest. The site is located on the level of a former clay extraction quarry for the manufacture of ceramics, and was renaturated at the end of the exploitation. A part of the site, resulting from the underwater extraction of the clay, was maintained as a water body.
This space is today favourable with the observation of nature, many birds are present: herons, water hens, ducks and for the most attentive and morning, kingfishers and crested grebes...
This place, reflecting the richness of the biodiversity of the Haguenau Exceptional Forest®, allows you to take time to relax and enjoy the spectacle of nature in a unique forest setting.
