History of the protected areas in the Rhine Delta.

The Rhine Delta is the largest wetland biotope protected area on Lake Constance and stretches from the mouth of the Old Rhine through the mouth of the New Rhine to the Dornbirner Ach in Hard. Around 2000 hectares of shallow water, reed beds, wet meadows and alluvial forests are protected. It is also a breeding and resting area for birds that is of European importance. To date, 330 species of birds have been observed. A nature reserve has been designated on both the Austrian and Swiss sides, and in Vorarlberg there is also a Natura 2000 area (fauna-flora-habitat and bird protection), a Ramsar site.

The Rhine Delta and Lake Constance are one of the most important winter resting areas for thousands of bird species. The favorable climatic conditions and the nutrient-rich shallow water areas allow many bird species to spend the winter and spring here. With a little luck, you can observe rare bird and butterfly species. The Rhine Delta is the oldest nature reserve in Vorarlberg; it was placed under protection in 1947. A few years ago it was even added to the list of European protected areas (Natura 2000).
