Am Kirberger Loch, Nature reserve in Monheim am Rhein, Germany.

Am Kirberger Loch is a protected wetland along the Rhine featuring old river channels, reed beds, wet meadows, and flood plain forest. The site spans several hectares and displays the characteristic structure of a river landscape with natural transitions between water and dry ground.

Am Kirberger Loch lies within the 78-hectare Urdenbacher Altrhein und Baumberger Aue reserve (code ME-044), which completely surrounds it; north of that, on Düsseldorf territory, begins the 324-hectare Urdenbacher Kämpen (D-003). The Mettmann district landscape plan sets out its protection, and the site is part of the Natura 2000 network of biotopes.

The reserve lies entirely inside the larger Urdenbacher Altrhein and Baumberger Aue protected area (ME-044), and the Urdenbacher Kämpen reserve (D-003) begins just to the north on Düsseldorf territory. Its name refers to the Kirberger Loch, a hollow in the floodplain. The site is part of the Natura 2000 network of biotopes.

The reserve lies northwest of Monheim am Rhein on the west-flowing Rhine and is entirely enclosed by the 78-hectare Urdenbacher Altrhein und Baumberger Aue reserve (ME-044). North of it, on Düsseldorf territory, begins the 324-hectare Urdenbacher Kämpen (D-003). The Landschaftsplan of Kreis Mettmann sets the boundaries and management rules, so visitors should stay on paths.
