Rheinaue Walsum, Nature reserve in Walsum district, Duisburg, Germany.
Rheinaue Walsum is a large protected area along the Rhine River featuring meadows, forests, and diverse habitats for wildlife and plants. The site spans several hundred hectares with different biotopes that together create a complex ecosystem supporting numerous species.
The area received protected status in 1983 and was later expanded to include fish protection zones in the river. This development reflects how conservation understanding grew and expanded over time.
The reserve serves as a place where visitors can directly experience the importance of wetland protection and see conservation efforts in action. Local groups use this space to connect with the natural world and understand how habitat preservation supports regional wildlife.
The area is accessible through a well-developed network of walking and cycling paths that allow visitors to explore different sections. Several observation huts are positioned to allow viewing wildlife without disturbing the animals.
The site sits on one of Central Europe's major bird migration routes and provides shelter for thousands of migratory birds. In winter months visitors can watch how the area fills with waterfowl passing through the region.
