Hiking
In order to improve the quality of nature and water, the area was redesigned between 2010 and 2015. This has led to improved living conditions for various plant and animal species. For example, a co-flowing secondary channel was constructed in the north of the Hurwenen floodplain. The secondary channel provides a better living environment, particularly for current-loving fish species. The construction of the secondary channel took place within the Water Framework Directive and also contributes to the ecological objectives of the European Natura 2000 programme.
