The entrance to Bird Island is via a long bridge. The island is home to small, winding paths, which are occasionally flooded or muddy. There are information panels along the way about the flora and fauna of the region. A highlight is the observation tower, which offers a fantastic view of the birds and the lake. There are seating areas at the tower.

Great view from the observation tower over the lake. Here you can observe great waterfowl.

The nature reserve "Bird sanctuary flat water and island zone in the Altmühlsee" has a size of over 200 ha and takes up about two fifths of the lake area.
