About 300 meters east of the Ems Cycle Path, somewhat hidden away, lies this small observation tower. From here, one has fantastic views of the renaturalized Ems floodplains. The Heinz Rinsche Tower owes its name to the former Emsdetten teacher and environmentalist Heinz Rinsche, under whose leadership the Ems Conservation Association was founded.

The old Ems floodplain landscape is being recreated here. According to the "Ems floodplain protection concept", the habitats "near-natural lowland river", "floodplain forest" and "floodplain meadows" are to be reactivated here, thereby promoting fish species typical of the area such as bitterling, brook lamprey, bullhead and wolffish, as well as bird species such as sand martin, kingfisher, golden oriole, nightingale and lapwing.
