Running

Hardwood floodplains are characterized by shorter flood times and more mature soils. Typical of this type of floodplain are slow-growing hardwoods such as ash, wych elm, English oak, sycamore maple, Norway maple, small-leaved lime and gray alder. Among other things, hawthorn, sloe and dogwood grow in the shrub layer.

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.
