The Niederlausitzer White Stork Centre in Vetschau

TheNaturschutzbund Deutschland Regionalverband Calau e. V. operates in Vetschau/Spreewald the White Stork Information Centre Niederlausitz. The continual decrease of the white stork as brooder, in 1934 over 500 pairs bred in the Niederlausitz and in 1958 only half the number, require special protection and help for the character bird of the Niederlausitz.

In extensive exhibitions and showcases we inform about the protection and its habitat of the white stork. Lots of knowledge about nature protection is connected with that. Young and old get a lot of suggestions for the conservation of a species rich and diverse nature and environment.

With 377 breeding pairs (1999)the Niederlausitz has the largest stork density in the stork richest federal state Brandenburg that means 9 % of the white stork stock in the whole of Germany is breeding in the Niederlausitz.

From the White Stork Centre one can visit either by cycling or hiking several white stork nesting areas in the Spreewald or see a nearby nature reserve. Excursion guides or guided tours are available.

At the house there is also the base of the nature watch in the biosphere reserve Spreewald.

The biosphere reserve starts immediately at the borders of the town Vetschau/Spreewald.

The biosphere reserve has an event calendar that offers guided tours, excursions and lectures.

More detailed information is available under Tel. 035433/70590 or at the base of the nature watch.
