The former transformer station was given a new use after it was no longer needed in the power grid. After small changes inside the old transformer station, peregrine falcons and barn owls find nesting places. Outside, the most diverse nesting boxes offer many species of birds a species-appropriate opportunity to raise their offspring. This gives a disused industrial building a very useful future use.

What a great and well-implemented idea: a Travo house or tower is converted into a hotel for various bird species. When I took a short break there, there was a lot going on...
Somebody had a good idea!

The area around the Bird Hotel is also interesting for geocaching enthusiasts, as there is a traditional geocache there that specifically points to this Bird Hotel.

The transformer tower in Einen, near Goldenstedt, is a remarkable example of the conversion of historic buildings for nature conservation purposes. The tower has been converted into a "hotel for many animals" and offers a safe habitat for various animal species, especially birds and bats. This promotes local biodiversity and shows how old structures can be used sensibly for species conservation.

The transformer tower is a popular destination for nature lovers and cyclists in the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park. Visitors can not only observe the diverse wildlife, but also enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the park.
