Secrets of the Floodplain Forests along the Vils: Guided Discovery Tour with the Nature Park Ranger
Between the river bends of the Vils and fragrant willows, this city tour into nature offers a rare discovery experience: the floodplain forest. Nature park ranger Christian Rudolf shows on-site why this habitat is precious, how it tames floods, and which endangered species find refuge here.
Living River Landscape – Architecture of Nature
Marvel at gnarled willows, young floodplain saplings, and dynamic gravel banks. The guide explains the ecological architecture of the floodplain forest, its stratification, and the role of dead wood for insects and birds. History at your fingertips: How past river regulations shaped the landscape – and what renaturation achieves today.
Diversity of Species Up Close
With a practiced eye, the ranger makes traces visible: from beaver gnawing to woodpecker holes. You will learn why orchids and willow herb love light corridors, how river reeds serve as nurseries, and why rare species depend on the floodplain forest.
People, Floods, Benefits
The floodplain forest acts like a natural sponge – it stores water, filters sediments, and cools the microclimate. The guide explains how near-natural banks strengthen flood protection and how recreation can be reconciled with nature conservation.
