오버라우터바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪18‬개의 천연기념물

낮은 라인 수위에서는 마른 발로 라인에 있는 이 섬들까지 걸어갈 수 있습니다. 2026년 여름과 같은 역사적인 수위에서는 진정한 경험입니다.

Here in the Bienwald forest, where the Schaidt-Lauterburg road crosses the Aschbach stream, a draw well has stood since ancient times: the Hirschbrunnen (Deer Well). It was fitted with a roof in 1912. The well was essential for watering teams of oxen and horses along what was then an important thoroughfare. Today, it is furnished with benches and a tabletop made from a section of the nearly 300-year-old Aschbach oak tree and serves as a rest area.

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

This oak was most likely "planted during the Thirty Years' War, which ravaged Germany from 1618 to 1648". Source (quoted verbatim): Information board on site

Just 200 years ago there were numerous islands on the Rhine that kept changing when the water was high. With the regulation of the Rhine, however, these were largely lost and with them breeding areas for various waterfowl. As part of the LIFE+ project "Rheinauen bei Rastatt", three islands were created at the mouth of the Illinger Altrhein, on which waterfowl can stay, search for food and breed undisturbed. http://www2.lubw.baden-wuerttemberg.de/public/abt2/dokRepository/upload/10_12/919001000152/nreservat_auer_k_pfle_-_illinger_altrhein_-_motherner_w_rth_-_umgestaltung_kohlkopf_und_tomateninsel__infotafel_.pdf

just beautiful here. There is also a bench with a beautiful view.

the southern Murg side (corresponds to this highlight) is the beautiful side of the Murg estuary. You can only get here on foot or by bike. There is also a road on the other side of the Murg.

Mouth of the Murg is a particular highlight for me from Rastatt. Especially when you have already completely navigated the Murg from its source rivers.
