The bay is a still water zone that is separated from the main stream of the Rhine by a dam , and at the western end of which is the small port of Niederwalluf. A dam with a footpath and bike path runs north of the nature reserve, and behind it lies the Schierstein waterworks . To the east is the Bauernaue and the Schiersteiner Hafen . Budenheim is on the opposite side of the Rhine .
natural reserve
The aim of the nature reserve is to preserve the near-natural Rhine bank and softwood meadows in the Ingelheimer Rheinebene natural area. The bank area of the still water zone serves as a breeding, feeding and resting biotope for birds and a spawning area for herb spawners and small fish.
