May 1, 2026, Altrhein in Rastatter Rheinaue

The Altrhein near Plittersdorf is a former arm of the Rhine, which was separated from the main current by the Rhine regulation in the 19th century (also called Rhine straightening). Today, the Altrhein is a calm, mostly slow-flowing or stagnant body of water in the Rhine floodplain near Plittersdorf. It is surrounded by floodplain forests, meadows, and small bodies of water. This natural landscape offers many animal and plant species an important habitat, for example birds such as herons and swans, as well as various fish species. In the past, the Rhine flowed directly past Plittersdorf and often led to floods. The course of the river was changed by the straightening, and the Altrhein was preserved as a "remnant" of the old Rhine. Today, it has above all ecological significance and also serves as a recreational area for people.
