Description Deutsch · English

In 2004 the "oil way island" was awarded by the German environmental help as a month project. One wanted to give thus impulse for a natural river development of the Rhine. The whole one „the living Rhine – river of thousand islands“ happened within the scope of the project. It is about renaturing. Here in this connection it is especially an aim to give a natural course to bank segments. This is very important for the plants and the animal world because by the "Begradigung" of the Rhine many old islands have disappeared and a formation is virtually prevented by the intensive navigation with the lapping of the waves walking along with it. Plants and animals lose thus her living space and are threatened by the extinction. Flowing through the Rhine water in the old arms should make a deep lapping of the high flood channel possible and be with it conditions for the preservation of the kinds. This project is supported particularly by the BUND (alliance for environment and nature conservation Germany) Neuss with the NABU (nature conservation alliance of Germany). I would like to draw the attention with this Cache to a piece of nature which many do not know because of the seclusion and which should become so more known. On discovering the Cache one can rove through the real nature reserve well on foot or with the bicycle.

The Cache is at a place which can be reached from the way. It lies on the edge of the nature reserve, so beyond the same. One must not creep „in the underground“ and with it damage the nature. The Cache is hidden "in a natural manner". Please, hide the Cache – which has a NORMAL SIZE, again very invisibly, so that it cannot be located immediately.In times of strong high water the Cache shall be reached only with diver's equipment.
