The "Berghäuser Altrhein" water system is a separated loop of the Rhine that was part of the main Rhine channel before the Rhine was expanded. Today, it flows around the island of Flotzgrün in a wide, sweeping arc between Rhine km 391 and Rhine km 393.5.
The total water surface of the Berghäuser Altrhein system is approximately 150 hectares. Shortly after the ingestion, the oxbow splits: the inner branch (Berghäuser Kanal) is graveled; the outer branch (Berghäuser Altrhein) represents the original course of the Berghäuser Altrhein. It later flows back into the Berghäuser Kanal. The Berghäuser Altrhein system also includes the floodplain waters Eisbruchlache (0.6 hectares), Schäferweiher (11.2 hectares), and Runkedebunk (4.7 hectares).
The banks are characterized by floodplain forests.
At the northern end is the natural harbor, where the submarine U 17 landed during its stop at the Speyer Technology Museum.
