Even before you cross the Rhine, it is worth visiting the countless arms of the Old Rhine. The lakes, canals and old river meanders, which see themselves as the Old Rhine, are the result of one of the largest construction projects in European history.
Dozens of meanders in the Rhine were cut through. To do this, workers dug channels through the river bend by hand and with the help of animals. The water of the Rhine tore the small canals wide until the full 200 to 300 meters of the river were reached. Overall, the distance between Basel and Bingen shrank by 81 kilometers.
The enormous saving in travel time is still an economic driver for the entire region today. Rich fishing waters developed along the sections of the Altrhein.
