Beschrijving
Rappenwört is often referred to as an island, as it is almost completey surrounded by water: a meander cutoff where the Rhine used to flow and the current, straightened course of the river. In addition to interesting birding habitats, there is also an outdoor swimming pool, a nature information centre and various canoeing clubs and restaurants. On the various lakes, ponds and backwaters you can see Knobbelzwaan, Wilde Eend, Wintertaling, Meerkoet, Fuut, Blauwe Reiger, Grote Zilverreiger and Aalscholver.
The woodlands are also rich in birdlife, especially in spring and summer. A few of the highlight species include Wielewaal, Grauwe Vliegenvanger, Grijskopspecht and Middelste Bonte Specht. If the water levels of the pools are low enough to expose muddy fringes, then it is possible to see various resident and passage waders and ducks. Oeverloper and Witgat and possibly Kemphaan and Zomertaling.
