The Kühkopf - the European bird reserve on the Rhine Today's Kühkopf was originally an inland peninsula near Guntersblum, with Rhine islands to the east, north and south. In the course of the straightening of the Rhine (1828/1829), a straightening breakthrough was made to the west of the peninsula and the area was completely separated from the mainland on the left bank of the Rhine, making the peninsula a river island. The Rhine islands that used to be in front of the peninsula now have a connection to the rest of the section due to silting up. The former main course of the Rhine is now an old bend in the Rhine. The almost undeveloped Kühkopf today forms the nature reserve "Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue" together with the Knoblochsaue to the north and some smaller islets in the Old Rhine. The Kühkopf alone accounts for around 1,700 hectares of the 2,440-hectare nature reserve. The island can be reached via two bridges.

Striking, high-curved bridge with a good view of the Old Rhine. Connection between Erfelden and Kühkopf. Here is approximately the middle of the old, curved loop of the Rhine, which is now called the Old Rhine. The water is popular with rowers, anglers and waterfowl.

The European reserve Kühkopf-Knoblochsaue in the Groß-Gerau district is the largest nature reserve in Hesse. It is part of the Hessian Ried between the Rhine and Bergstrasse. It is also designated as the largest contiguous flood area along the Hessian banks of the Rhine and is thus used for flood protection.
