Diving into a dead arm of the Rhine, Tauchen in einem Altwasser des Rheins: https://youtu.be/nztnBC2S5_k You are facing a dead arm of the Rhine. These are old meanders of the river which have been isolated. Several arms appeared after the rectification of the course of the Rhine. These aquatic environments, very rich in fauna and flora, are nourished and energized by powerful resurgences of the water table. Hidden in the heart of the forest, they offer us a pleasant and relaxing natural landscape.

the Rhineland jungle: https://youtu.be/6dGg9d7XOL4 of the Rheinische Dschungel: https://youtu.be/PbYeRGJXZCM The biodiversity of the Rhine forest: Lush nature and a peaceful atmosphere. This is how we could define the Rhine forest. Its green trees, its lianas, its dense vegetation, remind us of the jungle. In total, the rectification and containment work initiated by Tulla, then the developments for electricity production, led to the disappearance of nearly 8,000 hectares of forests and water bodies, including 450 hectares in the commune of Schœnau. ! Now protected by the Natura 2000 network, a program for the reintroduction of animal and plant species has emerged. The beaver, which had almost disappeared from Alsace, was reintroduced to the territory in the early 2000s. There are more than 500 different species of plants! The Rhine forest has 30% more plant species than other lowland forests.

A beautiful bathing opportunity in clear water that shines blue in the sun. The ongoing dredging operation on the opposite bank does not bother too much.
