The Dornskopf is a striking spot in the Taubergießen nature reserve, known for its typical floodplain landscape. Here, waterways branch out, surrounded by dense woodland and wet meadows. The area is particularly pristine and conveys the character of the old Rhine floodplain as it existed before the Rhine was straightened. With a bit of luck, you might spot rare bird species or signs of beavers. It's a place that exudes tranquility and showcases the wild beauty of the Taubergießen.

The access to the bridge is quite high and difficult with an electric wheelchair.

Matthias described it well. The area around the pond is still a flood zone, i.e. when the Rhine is high or during regular floods, my "little pond" is not accessible or can only be accessed at your own risk. Unfortunately, this beautiful place is increasingly being littered by event idiots.
