Guelper See in Brandenburg, nearby Berlin - A Bird Sanctuary

Recently on the long weekend we've been to the Guelper See. The lake is around 70 km west from Berlin (district Havelland) and 660 ha big. It's a nature reserve, a bird sanctuary. Lots of birds are migrating there. There are also many different types of ducks which we never heard of before. Although we're not that much into birds, I really enjoyed hearing birds chirping just all the time.
We made a nice cycle tour and enjoyed the nature, just being in the country is so relaxing. I slept well and felt rested well. We also saw some other animals like horses, sheep, butterflies, mosquito. Yeah, well next time we'll go near a water body should remember to take some mosquito repellent. Of course like usual, the weather in Germany always keeps changing, but luckily we had almost no rain. Basically just on our way home.
Here some pics from our adventure on the cycles:









Near this area you'll find many storks. There were a few too and here's a Stork nest. We happen to see a stork flying to this nest. But we were too far to take a good picture.

Some more impressions of the trip:
