An estimated 300 gray heron breeding pairs live and breed in the trees of a nature reserve between Dippach and Roßstadt am Main, about halfway between Eltmann and Trunstadt/Viereth. This makes the colony the largest of its kind in the United States
western federal states, a highlight of the Franconian animal world.
