Descripción
The Urdenbacher Kämpe is a typical piece of old Lower Rhine cultural landscape with pollard willows, fruit trees and wet meadows. In Spring the flowering fruit trees are particularly worth seeing. The landscape is structured by rows of trees and hedges. As an intact meadow landscape, the areas of the Urdenbacher Kämpe that are not diked are regularly flooded by the Rhine. The meandering arc-shaped course of the Urdenbacher Altrhein corresponds roughly to the course that the Rhine had until the middle of the 14th century. Numerous wetlands and fens have formed in the area of the Old Rhine. In the event of flooding, the area is also filled with rising groundwater.
The fruit trees are the habitat of birds such as Pito Real and Colirrojo Real. In the wetlands, ponds, hedges, forest areas and meadows many other birds can be seen or heard: Martín Pescador Común, Tarro Canelo, Guión de Codornices (very rare), Carricero Políglota, Cuchara Común , Chorlitejo Chico, Ruiseñor Común, Serreta Grande, Cerceta Común, Porrón Europeo, Zampullín Común, Camachuelo Común, Lavandera Cascadeña, Cotorra de Kramer and Oropéndola Europea. During migration, often Águila Pescadora is observed.
