As a nature reserve, specific rules apply to protect the wildlife. While dogs are generally welcome on the designated paths, they must be kept on a leash at all times. This is crucial to prevent disturbance to the numerous bird species and other animals, especially in breeding and resting areas. Please ensure you clean up after your pet.

While specific route lengths vary, you can easily combine sections to create walks ranging from short strolls of 1-2 kilometers to longer circular routes of 5-10 kilometers or more, especially if you extend your exploration along the riverbanks beyond the immediate reserve.
Are there any specific viewpoints or landmarks within the reserve?
The primary 'landmark' is the natural beauty of the rehabilitated floodplain itself, particularly the island and peninsula with shallow water areas that serve as crucial bird resting spots. While there aren't traditional scenic overlooks with elevated views, the remaining landside wall of the historical Wolfsanger lock offers a glimpse into the area's past.
