The Wörthel is a nature reserve in Mannheim .
It is part of the “Lower Neckar” nature and landscape protection area, which is divided into six protected areas from Heidelberg to Mannheim. The Neckar is characterized here by a strong agro-cultural and technical-industrial use and change. The nature reserve is bordered by the Neckar Canal in the north and the Mannheim Kurpfalzbrücke – Edingen – Heidelberg railway line in the south, and runs to the hydropower plant in the west and the motorway bridge of the Federal Motorway 6 in the east. It is flowed through by the Altneckar, which leads only a small amount of water through the water drainage into the canal and only has the natural amount of water during floods. Willow bushes , reeds and tall herbaceous vegetation grow on the banks . The breeding habitat of the kingfisher and sand martin can be found . The 20.9 hectare nature reserve was designated in 1987.
