Unterer Wöhrd, River island in Regensburg, Germany

The Unterer Wöhrd extends 1.8 kilometers along the Danube River with a width of 250 meters and encompasses 28 hectares of land.

The formation of Unterer Wöhrd dates back to the second century during the construction of the Roman legion camp Castra Regina.

The island initially hosted communities of fishermen and sailors before evolving into an industrial center with brick kilns and washing stations.

The island connects to Regensburg's old town via the Iron Bridge and features a pedestrian and bicycle path called Grieser Steg.

A stone dam beneath the Stone Bridge, constructed in 1388, links the two Danube islands and becomes walkable during normal water levels.
