Please do not use this observation platform during the resting periods in spring and autumn to give the cranes more peace and space. Instead, you can use the nearby observation points of the Kranorama.

The Crane Worlds opened just at the beginning of September. It's a successful, informative NABU information center located near the Kranorama. Here, visitors can learn all about the local grey cranes and other crane species from around the world. A bistro and beautifully landscaped outdoor area round out the experience.

In spring and fall, a visit to the Kranorama is definitely worthwhile. Visitors can expect a magnificent spectacle. Hundreds to thousands of cranes and geese gather in the meadows, calling, hooting, honking, and fluttering around, flying away and returning. There's also great information on the information boards and from the friendly rangers on hand.
