Michael (Wasi)
September 16, 2026, Sauer Delta Nature Reserve

A beautiful and pristine nature reserve near Munchhausen in French Alsace. Over around 486 hectares, floodplain forests, wet meadows, reeds, and quiet water surfaces alternate. The Sauer Delta is one of the last areas where the Rhine's floodwaters can still spread naturally into the floodplains.

A quiet memorial to the Avro Lancaster LM137 of 626 Squadron RAF, which crashed in the Sauer-delta region during a mission against Frankfurt on the night of September 12, 1944. Eight crew members were on board, some of whom lost their lives while others were taken prisoner of war.

The Rhine itself is not directly visible here, but rather a harbor basin or an old Rhine arm. The Rhine is not far away, however.

The Sauer is a tributary of the Rhine, approximately 70 km long. It originates in the Palatinate Forest near the Franco-German border. On its course, it flows through the Northern Vosges and partly forms the border between Germany and France. It then crosses Alsace before flowing into the Rhine near Munchhausen. The Sauer has a catchment area of about 800 km² and an average discharge of around 6 m³ per second.

The "Saletio" cable ferry is unique in its kind. A cable system whose principle consists of using the sole force of the current to move. It connects the two banks Seltz (FR) with Plittersdorf (DE). It can transport 70 passengers, 28 bicycles, and 6 vehicles. Motorhomes and caravans are not allowed on the ferry. The ferry is free.

🧺 The Craft Today Even though the craft is no longer practiced on a large scale, the tradition is highly valued in Schaidt. Nearby (Hauptstraße 103) you can still find the Zeiter basket shop, where you can admire and purchase traditional basketry.
