Around the small town of Gerolzhofen there are three smaller bodies of water, the Gerolzhofener Weiher (the central pond is also known as "Hörnauer See"), the Neuen and the Alten See, each of which is characterized by a wide reed belt. These offer good breeding conditions for some rare bird species, which mainly specialize in reeds. For this reason, a visit is particularly worthwhile at this time. Breeding birds such as bluethroats, great reed warblers, red-crested pochards, purple herons, warblers, black-necked grebes, Montagu's harriers and little bitterns can be observed here.
