    The ornithological station can be reached via a wooden staircase from the dam.

      Freely accessible ornithological station in wooden construction. What does the Aquarium sign stand for?

        A small steel staircase leads up to the observation post. From here you have good opportunities for observing the old arm of the Rhine and the natural and bird world.

            Observation tower similar to a high seat directly on the Althein. In the ornithological station you can see an information sign about the birds, which are separated into breeding birds and migrants.

              Good observation opportunities in the breeding and migration season at water levels above mean water (230cm Worms level). The aquarium is directly connected to the outflow of the Altrhein and drains itself fairly quickly when the water levels drop.
              And since fish often remain behind when the water level drops, a connection to the Rhine is worthwhile, they then get stuck, like in an aquarium @Andreas Stephan.
              The observation post is also well suited for observing waterfowl on the Altrhein, which is heavily frequented by water sports enthusiasts when the weather is good.

                  In the ornithological station there is a bench and a sign indicating the bird species that can be observed.

                          Around and on the Kühkopf, but also in other areas of the Old Rhine, these types of bird watching towers offer ideal opportunities for observing wild animals ...

                                The "Aquarium" tower offers a beautiful view of the Altrhein and the NSG!
                                In spring and autumn, with a bit of luck, the osprey can be observed, it is passing through!
