Beautiful view of the Niers river.

This description is incorrect. The highlight should be moved to Mulhouse, to the train station and the old railway line there. The tracks that used to be here belonged to a 42km long circular route of a single-track narrow-gauge railway. Hence the name "An der Kleinbahn" (At the Narrow-Gauge Railway).

A quick trip to the tourist information point to use the restroom...no problem, because the place is well-run and lined with various local animals. Just go in and enjoy everything it has to offer. The staff is friendly, too. It's worth 5 stars for me.
