Tips

Hiking

This was once a birdwatching hide. It still is, in fact, one, but due to the vegetation in front of it, there are currently no birds to be seen here at all. At best, it's a hide with graffiti. There is still a sign listing birds you might see here, but you'd better find a spot elsewhere.

Here you can shelter from the rain. And at the same time watch the birds.

From the hide you have a good place to watch the birds. There are also some information boards
