Vogelfreistätte Walk- und Gaisweiher
Vogelfreistätte Walk- und Gaisweiher is a nature reserve southwest of Dinkelsbühl in Bavaria, between the Walkweiherbach and Wörnitz. Two ponds shape this protected landscape: Walkweiher and Gaisweiher. Roads frame the area, with the B25 to the east, St2220 to the north, and AN45 crossing it. The reserve covers 33.9 hectares and has protected status since 1984.
The ponds and their surroundings provide breeding and resting places for numerous birds, including purple herons and goosanders. Careful water management supports this bird habitat. Several walking routes pass through the quiet landscape, where ponds, streams, and open surroundings create space for wildlife. The rare purple heron remains one of the most distinctive birds associated with these waters.
