The "Berghäuser Altrhein" water system is a separated loop of the Rhine that was part of the main Rhine channel before the Rhine was expanded. Today, it flows around the island of Flotzgrün in a wide, sweeping arc between Rhine km 391 and Rhine km 393.5. The total water surface of the Berghäuser Altrhein system is approximately 150 hectares. Shortly after the ingestion, the oxbow splits: the inner branch (Berghäuser Kanal) is graveled; the outer branch (Berghäuser Altrhein) represents the original course of the Berghäuser Altrhein. It later flows back into the Berghäuser Kanal. The Berghäuser Altrhein system also includes the floodplain waters Eisbruchlache (0.6 hectares), Schäferweiher (11.2 hectares), and Runkedebunk (4.7 hectares). The banks are characterized by floodplain forests. At the northern end is the natural harbor, where the submarine U 17 landed during its stop at the Speyer Technology Museum.

The straightening of the Rhine by the Baden engineer Tulla shortened the shipping route between Basel and Worms by 81 km and better protected the region from flooding. However, this shifted the flood risk downstream of the Rhine and affected biodiversity.

one can only guess what was there - more information at: https://www.atomwaffea-z.info/glossar/term/hassloch-geinsheim today cows graze peacefully

Once upon a time there was a missile launch base with American NIKE missiles. Today it is a nature reserve

Interesting natural monument: The Westheim bog oak dates back to the Neolithic Age and is estimated to be 3,000 to 5,000 years old.

Wonderful hiking area. Magnificent nature and after heavy rain some paths are very slippery or impassable due to flooding.
