Wooden Boats on the Illinger Altrhein

In addition to the areas mentioned in the title, the protected area also includes the Illinger Baggersee. It has a total area of approx. 250 hectares. In December 1990 the area was declared a nature reserve and since 2008 it has also been part of the Ramsar area Upper Rhine ⁄ Rhin supérieur. The Illinger Baggersee is a popular meeting point for migrating or wintering migratory birds. The reed beds are important breeding grounds for birds. The forests are typical softwood alluvial forests, consisting of white willows and poplars.
Before the Rhine correction, the Rhine current flowed in several branches of the river near Illingen. The largest of them, the Illinger Altrhein, flowed near the place at that time. From 1826 construction work to correct the Rhine began near Illingen and Au. Around 1845 the cut was made from the Auer Kohlkopf, the northernmost part of the Illingen Old Rhine.
