Weschnitz-Insel von Lorsch, Nature reserve in Lorsch, Germany
The Weschnitz-Insel reserve spans 200 hectares of grassland meadows along the Weschnitz River, incorporating diverse wetland habitats and riverine landscapes.
The German government established this protected area in 1961, designating it as part of the European NATURA 2000 network for wildlife conservation.
The Hans-Ludwig observation tower provides local residents and visitors with opportunities to observe migratory birds throughout different seasons.
The reserve features marked walking paths connecting to the Herrenbrücke bridge, making it accessible for both cyclists and pedestrians from multiple entry points.
The area serves as a critical stopover for migrating birds, including cranes, lapwings, and common snipes, between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar regions.
