The Alter Main nature reserve is a valuable refuge for rare animal and plant species. It is located in the Kitzingen district in Lower Franconia and covers an approximately 10 kilometer long section of the old Main, which was separated from the new Main by the construction of the Main-Danube Canal. The area is characterized by a high diversity of habitats, such as riparian forests, wet meadows, reed belts and gravel banks. Beavers, kingfishers, black storks, otters and numerous species of dragonflies can be found here. The nature reserve is also a popular destination for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers who want to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this river landscape.
