Loop
This varied loop trail winds through the idyllic countryside between Monheim am Rhein, the Urdenbacher Kämpe Nature Reserve, and the shady paths of the Knipprather Forest. Winding along the Rhine floodplains, the trail passes lush orchard meadows and wet river floodplains that provide a protected habitat for numerous bird species. A historical highlight is the Roman fort Haus Bürgel, whose ancient walls once stood on the other side of the Rhine before a massive Rhine meander altered the river’s course in the Middle Ages. Sturdy, water-resistant footwear is recommended for the wetter sections of the Rhine floodplains.
