This conservation area can also be reached by car from Andau. Some of the pools dry out completely in the high summer, and white areas show how salty the bottoms of these pools are. From the edge of the path you can watch a variety of migratory birds even in the high summer. It canbe reached from the Apetlon-Frauenkirchen pathway or from the carpark on the road to Wallern. This region to the south of both Apetlon and Illmitz acts as a buffer against the nature reserve, which is closed to the public.
Twilight is a particularly good time to watch the large birds from the reed beds in flight.
In the early mornings, the geese leave their roosting places on the water for the feeding grounds, to return in the evening twilight. The ducks,on the other hand, generally arrive at the lakes in the morning.
