Johann Gottfried Tulla said of his Rhine straightening project between 1817 and 1885, "As a rule, in cultivated countries, streams, rivers, and waterways should be canals, and the management of waterways should be under the control of the inhabitants." Today, we are aware of the enormous damage this caused to nature, damage that persists to this day. Nevertheless, in the current discussions about climate and nature conservation, one gets the feeling that humanity has learned nothing. Therefore, this nature reserve is a must-see.

In this nature reserve along the old Rhine channel, one can observe the zonal structure of a floodplain forest with its reed zone, softwood floodplain, and hardwood floodplain, and their characteristic tree species. It's striking to consider the rich biodiversity this complex ecosystem once supported and what was destroyed by the straightening of the Rhine. Only one percent of the original floodplain forests remain. No one can replace their ecosystem services; we must restore them wherever possible.
