Artificial gravel island, already covered by early succession of vegetation. Relatively high above waterlevel, therefore, one of the most important breeding sites of Little Ringed Plover and Sand Piper in the Donau-Auen National Park.
Side branch behind the island was restored within the LIFE project in 2006.
