Great closest Nature Reserve Experience for locals. Plenty of Birds to observe, 6 hideouts for spotters (5 in Park and 1 in main building). As this is nature reserve with sensitive animals dogs are not allowed. Great opportunity is every 3rd Sunday of month when Reserve is open to All, so take Your Binoculars, Cameras, Wifes, Kids, Friends, Lovers, Aliens and visit this place to enjoy pure nature.
