Description
The Kühkopf is an island created by the Upper Rhine and one of its oxbow lakes, which was created in 1829 when the Rhine was straightened out. Natural dynamics combined with high structural diversity are the basis for an extraordinary wealth of species. The various species lists also show an extremely high proportion of particularly endangered species.
