Bergenhusen was first mentioned in 1304 as Beveringhusen (Biberhausen). Today there are no beavers here, but one of the largest colonies of storks in Europe. Up to 22 pairs breed in the "Village of Storks".

Just rest on one of the many benches and watch the hustle and bustle of the stork parents! I come from a stork area, but the impressions from Bergenhusen topped everything I had ever known before! A trip here is definitely worth it!

"From March to September, guests of Bergenhusen can enjoy a very special kind of nature play. Up to 19 pairs of storks raise their young here year after year. Countless nature lovers enjoy the clattering of the storks every spring when they occupy their nests and In the summer you can watch them feeding the young birds and at the end of the breeding season, the young storks' first attempts to fly are impressive."
