It is easier for visitors to distinguish between the paths that are open all year round and the unofficial trails that are closed during the bird breeding season. Signs have been put up at the appropriate places for this purpose.
The Exerzierplatz nature reserve is home to numerous bird species. Depending on the species, they nest in the hedges or on the ground of the open and semi-open spaces. During the breeding season, these so-called ground nesting birds are very sensitive to disturbance. If they were regularly disturbed by passing pedestrians or stray dogs and - certainly unintentionally - startled from their nest, they would abandon their clutch. Successful reproduction would thus be impossible. Rare, even endangered bird species such as
- woodlark
- tree pipit or
- yellowhammer
would not be able to form stable populations.
The city of Erlangen and the landscape conservation association ask for your understanding and compliance with the rules. This means that visitors can continue to enjoy a varied landscape with a diverse range of animals and plants in the nature reserve in the future.
