Reißinsel Nature Reserve

A green peninsula southeast of the forest park. Closed from March 1 to June 30 each year due to nesting birds.

The Reißinsel nature reserve is not really an island, but it is one of the most important bird resting places in the Rhine valley. It is framed to the west by the Rhine between river kilometers 420.050 and 422.220 and bounded to the east by the narrow arm of the Rhine "Bellenkrappen" ("bent water arm overgrown with poplars") to the Waldpark landscape conservation area. Together with the forest park, it forms a 275-hectare area that is not protected by dams and is therefore regularly flooded by the Rhine at high tide, depending on the water level.

Unfortunately with dogs completely forbidden.
