White Donkeys, Wide Landscapes: Nature Lecture at Iwalewahaus Bayreuth

White Donkeys and Wide Horizons: Experience Nature at Neusiedler See

How do animals, water surfaces, reed belts, and open steppe landscapes shape the face of a unique nature region? In the lecture White Donkeys, Wide Landscapes – Nature in the Neusiedler See National Park, Robert Pfeifer takes the audience into the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park. The evening combines nature observation, landscape experience, and vivid insights into a characterful conservation area.

Landscape between Steppe, Reed, and Water

The focus is on a landscape that is defined not by spectacular peaks but by openness, light, and fine transitions. Shallow wetlands, extensive reed zones, meadows, sandy areas, and saline habitats form a mosaic in which nature can be observed in a special way.

The lecture illustrates how closely landscape management and biodiversity are connected. Traditional grazing animals play an important role: White donkeys, gray cattle, water buffalo, and other robust breeds keep open habitats clear and thereby support the preservation of valuable biotopes.

White Donkeys as Landscape Managers

The eponymous white donkeys are among the impressive residents of the region. Together with other grazing animals, they help maintain the open character of meadows, steppe, and sandy habitats. This creates living spaces for specialized plants, insects, and numerous bird species.

Robert Pfeifer focuses on these interactions and shows why nature conservation in the National Park is not just about protecting individual animals. It is the interplay of grazing, water management, reed, and extensive use that makes the special atmosphere of the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel understandable.
