グレーヴェンブローホの天然記念物・トップ20

Beautiful to look at in every season.

Nice bike path on both sides of the creek.

this is how it should be, so that the fish can pull upstream

Interesting fish ladder and picnic areas right on the shore, always busy in summer.

Great route and hardly any car traffic

A view of the Kasterer See is worthwhile at any time of the year. Especially in autumn, when the colors of the leaves start to play

nice place for picnic

The Himmelgeister Rheinbogen is a beautiful, preserved piece of the typical Lower Rhine cultural landscape. The area is characterized by the alternation of meadows and arable land, which are divided by rows of poplars, hedges and groves. The area, which has been designated as a nature reserve since 1996, is 214 hectares in size. When the plant population was recorded in 1997 by the Haus Bürgel Biological Station, 336 different species were identified. 19 species are on the Red List of threatened species. The landscape is characterized by the old gnarled pollard willows that stand in meadows and pastures and whose branches were previously used to weave baskets. The pollard willows are elements of the cultural landscape. The typical head shape is caused by human use: white willows are “beheaded” at a height of around three meters. The willows sprout again next year, young, flexible wicker material grows and is cut again. Over time, the typical head shape develops. The old pollard willows are also important for nature conservation. With their many tree hollows, they offer ideal nesting opportunities for cavity nesters such as the little owl and the redstart. In the Himmelgeister Rheinbogen there are still around five breeding pairs of animals that are endangered nationwide.
