The "Vogelhalde Sindringen-Ohrnberg" nature reserve in the lower Kocher valley has been home to one of the largest grey heron colonies in the Stuttgart administrative district for decades. At 216 hectares, the area is unique, being the largest of the 21 nature reserves in the Hohenlohe district.

Hiking

This is a "floodplain and near-natural hillside forests with a heron colony on the steep slopes of the Kocher Valley." It is a "feeding, resting, and breeding habitat for endangered bird species."

– Great Heron and Grey Heron
– Red Kite and Black Kite
– Honey Buzzard
– Kingfisher

The protected area encompasses the right-bank hillside forest, the Kocher River, and the floodplain.

Thus, not only the breeding habitats but also at least some of the feeding habitats of the bird species described there are combined in one large nature reserve.
