Google Reverse Image Search gives me Nidderau-Eichen in Germany. This photo seems to have been taken during a flood in January. https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/bilder-des-tages/gallery243348601/Fotografie-Die-Bilder-der-Woche.html https://www.op-online.de/region/main-kinzig-kreis/nidderau/hochwasser-in-hessen-bahn-neben-kanu-grosse-flaechen-ueberschwemmt-zr-92029721.html

Yes. Its calles "Flussauen". Those are big grass fields with small river between them. When the water rises and the fields get flooded.

Flood or no flood, the barriers still work!
