The Weststadt information platform is a renaturalised floodplain that serves as a nursery, resting place and habitat for over 80 different bird species. There is a telescope for observing the animals and seating for resting.
Translated with DeepL.com

The Weststadt information platform was modelled on a natural Lahn floodplain. The area was renaturalised in 2007 and connected to the Lahn via channels as in the past. A natural wet meadow has formed, which is used by numerous birds and amphibians, among others. The information platform provides information about the wetland and its inhabitants. From there, the area can be easily surveyed and a telescope offers the opportunity to take a closer look at the animals without disturbing them. Benches invite visitors to take a break here.
