Outside of the water sports areas, numerous waterfowl cavort in the Lingesetalsperre, which also hide here to breed. These include wild ducks, coots, great crested grebes and gray herons. At times you can even see one or the other kingfisher.

Rare and less rare birds breed here and need constant peace and quiet.
