Ameisensee

After recultivation, the Ameisensee has been used as a fishing lake since the early 1980s. The lake was created in silted-up old branches of the Rhine, which had been used for gravel extraction since the 1960s - especially during the construction of the Iffezheim Rhine dam in the 1970s.
The Ameisensee is located in the Söllingen/Greffern polder - partial polder 4 between the Rhine side dam and flood embankments - as a retention area in the event of extreme flooding on the Rhine and its tributaries. In the west, a culvert and structure connects the lake with the Kriegersee and in the east the water flows through a canal into the Rhine lowland canal.
We regularly pass by the Ameisensee on walks. The best view of the lake is on the east bank at the culvert to the Rhine lowland canal. It is not possible to walk around the Ameisensee in the shore area.
