The Trappen-Beobachtungsturm is located in the Havelländisches Luch Nature Preserve in Brandenburg, Germany. This area is renowned for its unique birdwatching opportunities, particularly for observing the rare Great Bustard. The preservation and development of Great Bustard populations are managed by the state bird protection agency and the Förderverein Großtrappenschutz e.V. in Buckow near Nennhausen. Birdwatchers visiting the area are advised to bring a good pair of binoculars, as spotting these elusive birds requires patience and a bit of luck. During the winter, the Great Bustards can often be found in small groups on rapeseed fields. The mating season, which runs from mid-March to mid-May, is a particularly active time for birdwatching, with guided tours and observation appointments available. Approximately 2 kilometers southeast of Garlitz, two observation towers are situated directly within the mating grounds and are freely accessible to the public. These towers provide an excellent vantage point for observing the Great Bustards during their courtship displays. The Förderverein Großtrappenschutz e.V. is the main contact for public relations and guided tours, offering visitors a chance to learn more about these magnificent birds and the efforts to protect them.
