Ilene Nature Reserve
Ilene Nature Reserve was started in 1981 and is a so-called «Ramsar» area on 90 hectares of land.
The wetland area has both great conservation value and great importance as a resting and eating location during the spring and autumn migration. Here you will find a great nature and cultural trail with a bird observation tower.
What birds can you spot?
A total of 236 different bird species have been observed on Ilene. Here you can see many wetland birds such as ducks, geese, swans, waders and vipers. In the spring there are many colorful burrowing ducks. The pheasants nest in the reed forest. In late summer, large flocks of greylag geese are seen. The autumn migration offers many sparrow species, herons and also a number of interesting birds of prey.
