The view across the fields towards the Rhine opens up a wide, open landscape with clear sightlines all the way to the river. Between fields and meadows, a calm, almost decelerated atmosphere is created, which forms a beautiful contrast to the previously more shore-hugging sections of the route.

The path along the Mühlbach leads through one of the quietest and most original areas of the Ilverich Altrheinschlinge. Narrow paths run close to the water through dense bank vegetation and floodplain forest. The small stream accompanies the route through a particularly natural and varied landscape.

The Ilverich Old Rhine Loop is a former Rhine loop and today a protected nature area with wet meadows, floodplain forests and still waters. It impressively conveys how the Rhine has changed over time and offers a particularly quiet, nature-close landscape.

A nice corner. Only the stench from the sewage treatment plant is bothersome.

A fantastic piece of nature. Here, you can experience the very special characteristics of the local fauna up close, such as numerous pollard willows and also many poplars, mostly covered in tinder fungus. Due to their extreme water evaporation, these trees were often used to drain and dry out large areas, also due to their relatively rapid growth.
