Günzer See

BW

The Günzer Lake is a shallow lake in the municipality in the district of Vorpommern - Rügen Altenpleen. It is 1.6 kilometers from the Bodden coast in the coastal strip in front of the Grabow middle of a boggy meadow at the reed L213 of Günz after Buschenhagen (municipality New Bartelshagen ). In the southern part of the lake there is an island of 0.7 hectares. The lake has a north- south length of about 570 meters and an east-west extent of about 300 meters. Close to its eastern side stands the road driven by a Crane Center United Mohrdorf observation post ( " Utkiek " ) on stilts. The lake and the surrounding meadows are a popular bird resting area. In addition to various water birds can be found, inter alia, a curlew and cranes. The cranes are fed and therefore can be observed from an unusual closeness and photographed. In the core time of the crane train the Utkiek is maintained by volunteers from the Crane Protection Germany.
