The Leybucht is a so-called "hot spot" for ornithologists. Around 200 different species of birds can be found here over the course of the year. From salt marshes and pastures to various bodies of water and reed beds, all habitats are represented.

Hiking

The Hauener Pütten are about 4 km west of Greetsiel in the west of East Friesland, right next to the Pilsen lighthouse. The Kleipütten (approx. 47 hectares) were created as part of the “Coastal Protection Leybucht” project. Unfortunately, the house is currently closed.
