The Taubergießen nature reserve is a roughly 1,700-hectare floodplain and wetland area on the Upper Rhine between Freiburg and Offenburg. It consists of oxbow lakes, meadows, and riparian forests and is one of the largest and most ecologically valuable protected areas in Baden-Württemberg. The area is a habitat for many rare animal and plant species and is ideal for nature observation, hiking, and guided boat trips. 🌿🦆
