The Elswissen Reserve becomes at its best when spring begins, when the migratory birds and the landscape of the vast meadows can be seen at its southern entrance, especially between the months of March and June, and offers a wonderful sight to its visitors. This nature reserve is of particular interest because there are few comparable grass areas, and due to the development of construction and the increased use of soil as arable land, breeding areas as well as resting places for many birds have dwindled across Europe.
