        With an area of 316 hectares, the Urdenbacher Kämpe is the largest nature reserve in Düsseldorf. It is a typical piece of old Lower Rhine cultural landscape with pollarded willows, fruit trees and valuable wet meadows. The blossoming fruit trees are particularly worth seeing.

          "... The Urdenbacher Altrhein is part of the Urdenbacher Kämpe in the south of Düsseldorf. The natural water conversion will further enhance the entire nature reserve aesthetically and ecologically. The Kämpe is one of the last floodplains on the Lower Rhine that are regularly flooded during floods. As such The so-called flora-fauna-habitat area has a high rank among European nature reserves. The flood is caused by the Rhine, but also the Garather Mühlenbach. Coming from Solingen, the stream flows into the Rheinaue near Düsseldorf-Hellerhof and follows the course of a old Rhine bed. From there it is called “Urdenbacher Altrhein”. ..."

            The Rhine through the ages and the renaturation of the Kämpe are always worth a trip.

                        After more than a hundred years, a pair of storks has finally settled down and is successfully raising their three young. Beavers also have offspring and we have already seen the kingfisher. There is a frog concert in spring and a bird concert all year round, free of charge. The old arm of the Rhine in the Urdenbacher Kämpe is the best example of renaturation!
