Ketscher Rheininsel, Protected area in Ketsch, Germany
The Ketscher Rheininsel spans 490 hectares along the Rhine River, featuring wetlands, dry areas, forests, and meadows within its natural boundaries.
The area emerged following the Rhine River straightening project in 1826, and received official protection status on April 11, 1950.
The educational nature trail includes 14 information panels that present detailed knowledge about local flora and fauna for visitors of all ages.
Visitors can explore the area on foot or by bicycle using marked paths that lead to the Rhine River, while keeping dogs on leashes.
The protected area contains Germany's largest population of wild grapevines, which faced significant decline due to groundwater changes since 1900.
