The island developed over centuries as part of the Rhine landscape, with structures showing different building periods from the region's past. It was designated as a protected site to preserve these traces of earlier periods.
The name reflects its location and historical role in the region. You can see how the structures blend with the surrounding landscape and how the water has shaped the way this place is used.
The island can be reached on foot through established paths that are generally accessible year-round. Parking is available in nearby areas on the mainland, from where you can easily walk to the site.
What makes this place distinctive is its location surrounded by water in the Rhine, setting it apart from other monuments in the area. This isolation has helped keep the historical structures less affected by modern changes over time.
