Rheinaue Friemersheim Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rheinaue Friemersheim is a nature reserve on the left bank of the Rhine. Over a distance of six kilometers, the Rheinaue meadows combine orchards with old varieties, other areas used for ecological and agricultural purposes, an old arm of the Rhine and the banks of the Rhine, and offer a home to many plants and animals that are worthy of protection.

Also remarkable is the contrast to the opposite right bank of the Rhine, where industry with iron and steel works, power station and port are located.
