Running

A softwood floodplain is a floodplain forest that borders directly on a riverbank and is mostly made up of softwoods, which is often flooded. There, the plants are regularly exposed to mechanical stress from currents and ice drift.

Hiking

In this nature reserve along the old Rhine channel, one can observe the zonal structure of a floodplain forest with its reed zone, softwood floodplain, and hardwood floodplain, and their characteristic tree species. It's remarkable to consider the rich biodiversity this complex ecosystem once supported and what was destroyed by the straightening of the Rhine. Only one percent of the original floodplain forests remain. No one can replace their ecosystem services; we must restore them wherever possible.
