The Glender Wiesen Bird Sanctuary has existed since 1989. It is one of the few remaining large wetland areas in Upper Franconia. With the construction of the Goldbergsee reservoir in 2010, a flood control project for the city of Coburg, large parts of the nature reserve were flooded. In addition to the biotope lake within the nature reserve, the Grundsee lake was created south of the railway line. New habitats, especially for wading birds and waterfowl, have since developed. The northern part of the Grundsee, like the nature reserve itself, is also an EU Special Protection Area for birds.

Here you'll find two informative panels about the bird species found here and the Glender Meadows. The latter is a protected area of supra-regional importance. Informative and definitely worth reading.

It also has supra-regional significance for the statewide and cross-border network of biotopes. The newly created bodies of water at Goldbergsee enhance the diversity of habitats. Many rare animal and plant species, some of which have even disappeared elsewhere, can be observed here.
