The Weseraue area is a European bird sanctuary (protected area identification DE-3519-401) in the East Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke in the north-east of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which has been designated by the Detmold regional council .
The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .
location
The 27 square kilometer bird sanctuary "Weseraue" includes the floodplains to the right and left of the Weser and the area of the Lahder Marsch . It stretches over 25 kilometers - of which around six kilometers are dammed - from the branch of the lock canal in the south of the Petershagener core city to the state border with Lower Saxony near Schlüsselburg in the north.
description
The bird sanctuary "Weseraue" is described as "one of the most important breeding, moulting, resting, migration and wintering areas, especially for water birds and waders in North Rhine-Westphalia".
It is considered to be the most important wintering area for goosander and golden- bellied duck as well as a resting area for golden plover in North Rhine-Westphalia. Especially in severe frost, the Weser often serves as a last refuge for ducks , sawsmen and divers , as it freezes over only to a small extent .
