Neeracherried – a bird paradise

Highlight • Natural Monument

With an area of 105 hectares, the Neeracherried is one of the last large fens in Switzerland. It is mowed regularly and grazed on the fringes, providing a habitat for countless birds, plants, amphibians and reptiles. Scottish highland cattle have been giving the reed a special character for a number of years.

The area of the Ried was in the common property of the Anstössergemeinden. The oldest surviving document in the Neerach municipal archive dates from 1528 and concerns disputes between Neerach, Riedt and Höri over the common commons. These could never be completely settled. Neerach and Riedt have therefore repeatedly attempted to cut or even split up the common reed area. The municipality of Höri managed to stop such projects on several occasions. It was only in the summer of 1800 that the Ried, which today belongs to the municipalities of Neerach, Höri and Niederglatt, was finally divided up (Wikipedia).

Neeracher Ried - Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Neeracherried is one of the last large flat bogs in Switzerland. It provides habitat for countless animals and plants. For example, lapwing, kingfisher and black-headed gull breed in the reed, but also migratory birds such as teal or common snipe make a stopover on their journey.
From the visitor center, a wooden footbridge leads to the nature trail and the two observation huts. Birds can be observed from close up without disturbing them.
