BEHAVIOR & NATURE

NATURE

Live on the water

The shallow water zones are important habitats for birds, fish and insects. Accordingly, these ecosystems need understanding and protection. The “Natur & Freizeit” association wants to use a campaign to draw attention to the need to treat these creatures with respect. To do this, they have defined four behaviors:

Keep your distance from reeds
Keep your distance from gravel islands and sandbars
Keep your distance from bird collections
Respect protected areas
We naturally support this concern as much as possible and want to do our part to ensure that these rules of conduct are observed.

BEHAVIORS

If you observe these four behaviors, you will be considerate of the water, and the waterfowl will keep an eye on you from a safe distance.

KEEP DISTANCE
TO THE REEDS

100 meters wherever possible. Many birds breed and hide in the reeds.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE TO GRAVEL ISLANDS AND SANDBARS

If possible 100 meters or more. Many birds rest and breed here or look for food.

KEEP A LARGE DISTANCE FROM BIRD GATHERINGS

Especially in winter. Disturbances are possible from a distance of one kilometer.

RESPECT PROTECTED AREAS

Always stay outside the limits. Some of these are marked with yellow buoys or boards and drawn on maps.
