The 285.5-hectare area of Au am Rhein and Elchesheim-Illingen has been designated a nature reserve under identification number 2.134 since December 19, 1990. It is the largest section of the old Rhine channel in the transition zone between the bifurcation and meandering areas. The reserve extends west and northwest of the town of Illingen, directly along the westward-flowing Rhine. The Illingen gravel pit lake is located within the reserve.

Today it houses a ship-travel museum

Crank and inform!

When the water level of the Rhine is low, you can walk to these islands on dry feet.

From October 2014, the tomato islands were redesigned for around two million euros. The construction work was part of a nature conservation project that was partly financed with funds from the EU funding program LIFE+. A ditch was created at Auer Köpfle through which Rhine water is channeled into the Illinger Altrhein. In addition, two channels were created along the right bank of the Rhine, for which the existing groynes were divided. The excavated material was used to raise the islands. The construction work created three islands that provide gravel breeding areas that are safe from predators such as foxes. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomateninseln

Beautiful narrow path along the Old Rhine with many old trees.
