Flora and fauna
The foreland of the Rhine near Perrich forms a habitat of softwood meadows and bank vegetation on a still water body of around 35 hectares , which was created through excavation and is connected to the Rhine depending on the water level. In the west of the foothills of the Rhine there are smaller poplar and willow stands with a high proportion of dead wood . The area is of particular value not only as a winter resting area for geese and ducks, but also as a breeding area for a large number of other bird species.
