Today on a beautiful and dry spring day there was no sign of a flood.

Often flooded site with reeds and old willows.

The pollard willows shape the appearance of river regions such as the Kühkopf.
In the past, the rotten wood inside the tree stumps served as “tree soil,” a fertilizer for gardens. Grass and the nettles between the pastures were additional fodder for livestock. Since such use is almost completely absent today, reeds now proliferate between the pastures.

Often flooded spot. The path is slightly higher and easy to walk on.

Gigantic lighting atmosphere before sunset invites you to take wonderful photo sessions.
Depending on the season, don’t forget mosquito spray

Flooded today, but not “unfortunately”
If the design flood = “full drain” you don’t need mosquito spray!
Not even in summer.
The gnats only develop when there is residual water and only when it is warm.

Extensive reeds and willow trees characterize many of the old Rhine areas of the river, which has often changed its course in history.

And when it is flooded, the Altrhein alligators frolic here ;-) nei is kidding, but it actually looks like an American swamp area from television ;-)

Beautiful path, but full of mosquitoes in the summer as it is along water mostly. Bring spray…we didn’t!

Pollard willows as far as the eye can see.

Yes, and it's particularly beautiful on the Kühkopf. It starts right behind the Martin Roth Bridge in Erfelden.

The bank areas that are flooded during floods have their own charm.
Really interesting, especially in fog.

A great natural landscape on the banks of the Old Rhine, mystical in autumn and winter weather and wonderfully green in spring and summer 👍

Pollard willows are either silver or basket willows. The head of the willow is created by repeatedly cutting back the twigs and branches. Pollarded willows are a defining feature of the appearance of river regions such as the Kühkopf.
