The Rhine island lies between Hartheim on the German side and Fessenheim on the French side. The Old Rhine borders the island's eastern shore, which faces the German side, and the Grand Canal d’Alsace on the western shore, which faces the French side. The narrow, approximately 1 km long stretch of road sees little traffic and is rather atypical for the area, yet quite charming. This so-called dry floodplain was formed by erosion following the straightening of the Rhine by the civil engineer Tulla. It provides habitat for a number of rare to very rare plant and animal species.
