De 20 bedste søer omkring Wirdum

Leysiel-slusen opfylder flere funktioner: Den 30 meter brede sluse understøtter dræningsfunktionen af anlæggene i Greetsiel og Leybuchtsiel. Siden 1991 har slusen med sluse og sluseport dannet afslutningsværket af digenæsen "Leyhörn", kernen i kystbeskyttelsesforanstaltningen Leybucht. https://www.nlwkn.niedersachsen.de/startseite/hochwasser_kustenschutz/landeseigene_anlagen/sperrwerke/leysiel_sperrwerk/sperrwerk-leysiel-41344.html

⚓✨ The Leysiel barrier and the associated Leyhörn reservoir form an impressive ensemble of modern coastal protection and valuable natural area on the western edge of the Leybucht.

Wonderful region with many small sluices.

There is a lot to discover on this section. We were very lucky and saw a marsh harrier, oystercatchers, many geese, a meadow yellow wagtail, ducks and a male ruff. Of course there were also numerous gulls and tawny terns.

The 646 hectare "Leyhörn" nature reserve protrudes into the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park as a nose-shaped 👃 bulge and is of great importance as a flood-free, coastal 🐣 breeding and resting area with diverse biotope structures. The bottom line, however, is that we see a lot more 🐑 🐑 🐑 sheep here than 🦅🦆🦢🪶 birds 😅.

The Leyhörn is a nature reserve on the peninsula of the same name in the south of the Leybucht in the Lower Saxony municipality of Krummhörn in the Aurich district, which was created in 1991 as part of coastal protection measures. The nature reserve with the registration number NSG WE 220 is 646 hectares in size. A large part of the nature reserve is part of the EU bird sanctuary “Krummhörn”. To the south and southeast it partly borders on the “Krummhörn” landscape protection area. The area has been protected since December 3, 1994. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the Aurich district. (Source: Wikipedia)
