Pumping stations are directly and indirectly required for the Bislich-Landgrenze Dike Association's area and the affected catchment areas (see also Water Maintenance) to ensure proper outflow in the landwehrs. The natural outflow at the pumping stations depends on the respective Rhine water level. This means that the Rhine water level must be below the outflowing water in the ditches and landwehrs. If this is not the case and the Rhine level is higher, the natural outflow is disrupted and not possible. To prevent Rhine water from entering the association's area, the floodgates are closed. Once the outflow is disrupted and natural outflow can no longer occur, for example, because the Rhine water level is higher than that of the landwehrs, water must be artificially pumped (drawn) from the hinterland into the Rhine using pumps. The relocation of the dikes results in changes in the sluice and groundwater conditions. In addition, the rerouting of some of the association's waterways and the reactivation of old water structures will be necessary, which will also impact existing water management conditions, necessitating the construction of the "Polder Lohrwardt" (PL) pumping station as part of the Lohrwardt dike relocation project.

"Polder Lohrwardt" Pumping Station: The Bislich-Landesgrenze Dike Association, as a water and soil association, is planning the construction of the dike relocation and the Lohrwardt summer polder. This project will create an additional retention area of approximately 15 million square meters in a retention area of approximately 270 hectares. The dike relocation will result in changes to the silt and groundwater conditions. Furthermore, some of the association's waterways will need to be relocated, as well as the reactivation of old watercourses, which will also impact existing water management conditions, necessitating the construction of the "Polder Lohrwardt" (PL) pumping station as part of the Lohrwardt dike relocation project.

The ferry ride across the Rhine to Rees was one of our highlights.

Very beautiful area, highly recommended. Please note, however, that the ferry (pedestrians and cyclists only) only runs on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays/public holidays.

You'll see a particularly large number of storks at this spot, as there are four stork nests in the immediate vicinity. And here in the Anholter Schweiz forest, there are several ponds, a lake, and a wet meadow where the storks always find plenty of food.
