NSG Reeser Schanz, Nature reserve in Xanten, Germany.
The NSG Reeser Schanz covers 71 hectares along the Rhine River's left bank, featuring reed beds and flood meadows over sandy-gravelly substrates.
The conservation area, established in 1999, expanded significantly in 2004 when it became part of the European protection network Natura 2000.
The area forms part of the extensive Unterer Niederrhein bird protection zone, supporting numerous water birds, including snipes, greenshanks, and redshanks.
Navigation through the conservation area is facilitated by Avenza Maps, which provide detailed topographical information and GPS location services.
Between 2009 and 2015, a three-kilometer diversion channel was constructed to reduce riverbank erosion and manage flood risks near the Reeser town wall.
