Worringer Bruch, Protected area in Chorweiler, Germany
The Worringer Bruch extends across 164 hectares of wetlands, featuring ponds, open water areas, and natural forest stands with hardwood and softwood species.
The area originated from a meander of the Rhine River approximately 8,000 years ago when this former river arm separated from the main stream.
Local foresters conduct educational tours through the reserve, sharing knowledge about native plant species and ecosystem development with residents from surrounding communities.
Visitors need to follow specific regulations regarding dog walking, as unrestricted canine activities have led to decreases in ground-nesting bird populations.
The protected area contains one of Germany's largest populations of great crested newts, recognized by their distinctive dorsal crest.
