Mündungsgebiet der Ahr

The Mündungsgebiet der Ahr encompasses 56 hectares of protected land where the Ahr River joins the Rhine, creating diverse water ecosystems and sand banks.

The area received its initial protection status in 1977 and was further designated as a nature reserve in 1981, marking a milestone in regional conservation efforts.

This nature reserve serves as an educational site for scientific research, particularly in studying river dynamics and their effects on local plant communities.

Visitors can access the reserve through designated paths while maintaining distance from sensitive areas to protect the natural habitats and wildlife populations.

The reserve represents the last remaining natural river mouth along the Rhine, featuring constant natural processes of sediment redistribution and water flow patterns.
