Every year, storks breed in Markt Schwaben on the old schoolhouse's roof next to the Hauptschule on Gerstlacher Weg. The great birds can often be seen standing on roofs, flying over the town or seeking food on the River Hennigbach. The stork has become a symbol for Markt Schwaben. There is a webcam trained on the storks' nest, whereby the brood may be observed over the Internet.
