Crane train about Bavaria: A heavenly spectacle for autumn!

Hilpoltstein, Deutschland - Hundreds of thousands of cranes are currently flaking south and conquer the Bavarian sky! Usually believed as an extinct, Bavaria's air road for these majestic birds is particularly frequented this year, as the nature conservation association LBV from Hilpoltstein reports. While the reasons for this reinforced flight season have not yet been clearly clarified, there has been a steady increase in cranes since 2008.

First big squads were spotted in the south of Bavaria last weekend and the chances are good that the spectacular features will continue to be observed in the coming weeks, especially along the Isar and Lech. The cranes are unmistakable: with their typical V-shaped formations and striking trumpet-like calls, they attract the attention of nature lovers and bird lovers. For a long time the crane was considered to be disappeared in Bavaria, but small stocks have established themselves since 2002. This is also a sign of hope for the animal world in the region.
