Tips from the Community
Seating steps right by the water, a small pebble beach, a water playground, and a pétanque court: In the north of Gingen, where the banks of the Fils River are accessible on both sides, areas for play and relaxation have been created. The name "Vis-à-vis" (meaning "vis-à-vis") comes from the opposing steps. A new pedestrian bridge connects the two banks, creating a cohesive open space, and the Fils no longer divides the town. Residents in the west and employees in the industrial park in the east can now enjoy both sides of the Fils without having to take long detours. The newly created riverbank area is located directly on the Fils Valley Cycle Path, allowing cyclists to rest and observe nature. The green spaces in the redesigned riverbank area have been transformed from species-poor to diverse and ecologically valuable areas through new plantings. Whether just a quick stop or a longer break, the area is perfect for both.
