With its eccentrically mounted nest rings and the large, irregularly inclined supports, the pulpit is reminiscent of a bird's nest that rests in the forks of a tree. In the surrounding flat landscape, the bird's nest is a landmark that can be seen from afar and represents a symbol for the nature and bird sanctuary that is being created here.
If you climb the 40 steps of the spiral staircase, you really have the feeling of being safe in a nest. The arrangement of the wooden rings creates viewing slits that allow a wide view of the surroundings of the gravel pit and the “Silbersee” as well as the entire Rhine-Main area. From the bird's nest you can watch and hear numerous animals in the ponds and pools, on the gravel walls, embankments and in the alluvial forest. At the same time, visitors are hidden behind the nest rings and do not disturb the fauna of the nature reserve.
