Bird Island

Highlight • Lake

Rest area with seating and information boards. The bird island on the Altmühlsee - pure nature! It's worth taking a short walk across the island. Bicycle stands to secure the wheels are available right at the beginning of the bridge to the island. A great island and water world has been created here with habitat for over two hundred species of birds.
