High waters island footpath

The walk on the island makes you aware of the importance of the dynamics of the water and the regular floods which have created an exceptional wealth of flora and fauna.

Sign-posted trail with educational panels: a village and its island, formation of the island of Rhinau (island located between the canalized Rhine and the river Rhine).Two loops, the loop with the dykes and the loops liable to flooding, from the characteristic of this circuit. The loop liable to flooding is impassable during the period when the Rhine's water level rises, which sometimes happens in winter but more often in May-June, when the snow thaws in the Alps, it's the Kirschenrhein or the Cherry Rhine.
