Crane dance

During March / April, thousands of cranes gather here on their way north.

The record was broken in 2019 when 27,300 were counted on one day 3 April. In 2014, the peak was reached even then on April 3 with 23,000 cranes. In 2015, the first cranes arrived already on February 26, but then it went slower, 10 cranes on March 15, but just in time for the inauguration of Naturum Trandansen, about 10,000 had arrived. In 2018, there were at most about 24,500 cranes on April 8. However, the number of visitors is even more, about 150,000 come every year to experience the spectacle.
