Description

The Entenfang nature reserve is located in the town of Wesseling. It is an Old Rhine channel that is supplied with water from the Dickopsbach stream in the south and the Palmersdorfer stream from the north. In 1969 the area was placed under nature conservation because of its special position for resting and breeding waders (limicoles). In order to improve the attractiveness for birds, the water level is lowered annually at the beginning of the migration season.
