Günsche-Witi Nature Reserve
- OrtPlace
Lengnau BE
Protected natural area valued by migratory birds and composed of habitats favorable to amphibians, near the Solothurn border.
Stroll quietly among the ponds and wet meadows, hoping to catch a glimpse – and perhaps even hear – the protected inhabitants of this natural haven: frogs and small waders.
Located southwest of the Solothurn cantonal border, the Günsche-Witi Nature Reserve extends along the edge of the “Grenchner Witi” area, within the municipality of Lengnau. This protected site serves as a crucial stopover for migratory waders (small shorebirds), which also find a notable source of food here. The reserve also contains preserved and promoted habitats for amphibians.
