A massive industrial facility that serves the shipping traffic on the Rhine to Basel and at the same time enables the Kembs run-of-river power plant. Together with the power plant and the adjoining canal almost to the national border, it is a clearly man-made incision in the all-round wonderfully untouched nature with a protection zone on the eastern Rhine island and Petite Camargue to the west.
