    The Rhine embankment runs north along the eastern edge of the Taubergießen nature reserve to the Rhinau ferry. On the way, detours on the few existing forest paths into the Rheinauenwald and to the backwaters of the Rhine and further north to the sugar bridge over the Blinde Elz are worthwhile. In the spring, the dam is covered on both sides of the slope with a tremendous splendor of flowers, especially bright pink Carthusian carnations. There are also numerous orchids (bright red pyramidal borage and various types of orchid).

    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. 🌿🦆
