description

The river island has a length of about 850 meters with a maximum width of 65 meters. It lies in the floodplain of the confluence of the Fulda and Werra rivers. Originally, this was a swampy landscape in which elevated areas such as the Blumer Werder, the Doktorwerder , the Tanzwerder and the Eselwerder have formed due to the flooding of the river . Werder is located on the B 80 between the Welfenschloss Münden and the historic suburb of Blume. The island is accessible to pedestrians via a makeshift pontoon bridge , which is only available in the summer months. There is no access in winter, as the island is temporarily inundated due to flooding of the Werra.
