The Wurm River, largely in its natural state, exhibits an impressive flow dynamic that is unparalleled nationwide. Driven by the force of the flowing water, the river's course is constantly changing, creating new channels, gravel bars, eroding banks, abandoned riverbeds, and new floodplain forests. The abundance of food in the Wurm's gravel and sand deposits makes the river particularly attractive to certain, sometimes rare, bird species. For example, the rare kingfisher finds ideal nesting opportunities in the eroded banks of the Wurm. Beavers have also returned to the Wurm in recent years.

Beautiful to see how the river meanders through the landscape.

At least today the water didn't look particularly good. While other lakes, ponds and rivers are clear, the Orchelsweiher is filled with brown water.

A narrow path leads here parallel to the course of the river.
