Altrheinbrücke Ketscher Rheininsel

Wooden bridge to get on foot or by bike to the Ketscher Rhine island.

It is worth stopping on the wooden bridge and enjoying the view.

Wooden bridge to the Rheininsel, 98m above sea level. A short distance away on the island are flood marks.

The beautiful covered bridge leads over an old Rhine arm and is the only access to the Ketscher Rhine island.

A good spot for photography in summer and winter.

If you walk over the massive wooden bridge it is like entering a different time! The steps are muffled!
Also interesting are all the doodles that have been carved into the wood of the bridge over the years

You should definitely stop on the bridge and let your gaze wander along the water. Gorgeous!

From the wooden bridge you have a beautiful view of the Old Rhine

Quietly beautiful and so close between MA + HD

Impressive bridge, very pretty structure.

Great introduction to the nature reserve!

The new wooden bridge leads to the Rhine island. At the entrance to the wooden bridge there is a statue of St. Nepomuk, who greets the hiker. In Catholic areas you can often see this on or next to bridges, as he is considered a bridge saint.

Briefly written historical insight into the history of the Rheininsel. Then you go a little more consciously across the island.

Beautiful bridge over the Old Rhine near Ketsch

Very nice bridge with great perspectives.

Very nice to go for a walk.

Great place to sit down and just relax, maybe take a picnic with you! 🥰

nice easy hike with varied alluvial forests.

The bridge is the only access to the island. Mosquito repellent is essential. Otherwise you'll be right back - like many before you.

We were on the island very early in the morning and the bird concert was a treat. It is unbelievably beautiful to wander first through the forest and then along the banks of the Rhine. At the end we were still at the wild boar enclosure.
