The stork is the secret heraldic bird of the free city of Rust. Reason enough to dedicate a tour to it! Not far from the start of the route, you will find a pasture (Seewiese) that is populated by cows from around May to October. The Seewiese is part of the Rust stork protection programme, in which the creation and preservation of natural feeding grounds is an essential component. From the tower located there, you can observe storks and other bird species. The rest of the route takes you through vineyards. Many of the fallow fields in between are managed by the Rust Stork Association, as is the stork meadow, in order to create additional feeding grounds for the storks.
