The area has been expanded to provide flood protection during heavy rainfall and to promote biodiversity. The previously straightened stream has regained its curves and can now meander through its new floodplain. 00X260408D013CAROEX.JPG [MODEL RELEASE: NO, PROPERTY RELEASE: NO (c) caro images / Oberhaeuser, www.caro-images.com, [email protected] - In case of using the picture for any purpose, please contact the agency - the picture is subject to royalty!]
