"The Bingenheimer Ried, a significant marsh and wetland, is an important transit and resting area for migratory birds and winter visitors. It is also home to rare breeding birds, such as lapwings, snipe, and pintails."

We didn't see any snipe or pintails today, but compared to our last tour here, the water level was also significantly lower, which increased the …

Today we are following the tip from
Followed @michael 59 and set off for the Bingenheimer Ried (we only forgot to pack the sun - unfortunately it only showed up right when the tour was over 😔).


But even without “Sonja” a very nice and, above all, animal-rich round (warning: flood of pictures ahead 🫣).

The off-grid section along the houses had to be made because the path leading directly along the fence is currently blocked with barrier tape. Otherwise, the circuit would be about a kilometer shorter.

The Bingenheimer Ried nature reserve (declared a nature reserve in 1985) is located approx. 40km northeast of Frankfurt/Main and covers 85 hectares (temporary waters and ponds, reed beds, grassland).

In spring and autumn, the meadows and reed areas are flooded (except after very long dry periods) and usually offer good observation opportunities.
The area is fenced to provide a suitable …

The Bingenheimer Ried, with its 85 hectares, is one of the most important nature reserves in Hesse.

We were out and about again today, and I have to say: we did everything right.

Everywhere is teeming with young life, among the geese, the swans, the storks, and even the lapwings....

Simply adorable, the little balls of fluff 😍.

Showing Translation

Around 30 species of birds breed in the reed bed, including pintail, wigeon, shoveler and teal. The nature reserve is also one of the best breeding areas in Hesse for spotted crake and water rail. Other breeding species include lapwing, common snipe, marsh harrier, long-eared owl and bluethroat. The most conspicuous, however, are the breeding white storks.

No incline, short distance - just the right thing for my companion with foot problems! The abundance of animals, especially bird species, that we were able to observe today is phenomenal. Pure nature, open your eyes and enjoy! 🫶🏻
