Please show respect for our birds

Adjacent to the bridge to Mainau Island there are the two nature reserves "Obere Güll" and "Untere Güll" (approx. 90 ha). In the summer season, the boundary of the shallow water zone is often recognisable by a clear colour difference in the water.  Due to their shallow water and reed zones
the bays are important breeding, resting and wintering areas for a large number of bird species, some of which are rare.

Great crested grebes and red-crested pochards breed in the shore area. Protected by the high reeds, water rails and reed warblers breed. The Mainau bays serve, for example, as an important moulting place for the red-crested pochards where they change their feathers. In winter, there are also coots, grey herons, whooper swans, teals, gadwalls, pochards, herons, goldeneyes, common gulls and Mediterranean gulls in the two bays.
