Boundary Stone of 1820 (Baden–Alsace-Lorraine)

Highlight • Monument

There is a large border stone from 1820 on the side of the road. It marks the border between Baden (Baden coat of arms) and Alsace-Lorraine (E.L.).
As the Rhine often changed its riverbed here, the border also changed from time to time. So today the stone stands on the German side of the Rhine.
The number 67 indicates the number of the department.

Taubergießen Wetlands

Highlight • Natural

Wonderful nature and landscape experience in the floodplains of the southern Upper Rhine. One of the largest nature reserves in Baden-Württemberg.
"Pouring" are subterranean parts of the river that reappear in other places. The fishermen describe waters poor in nutrients with little fish stocks as "deaf".
The nature photographer Thomas Kaiser has published some of his extraordinary photos from the Rheinauen on his website, including Taubergießen (naturfoto-thomaskaiser.de/rheinauen.html).

Nothing interesting
Pfff, so much car travel for not much

A wasted day

Today we went to Kappel-Grafenhausen near Ettenheim. Europa-Park Rust is very close by. The Volkssportfreunde Kappel-Grafenhausen had invited us to the GTW (Grand Prix de l'Horloge). The route led through the Taubergießen nature reserve. On the lean meadows, we saw blooming orchids, and in between, we repeatedly passed various lakes, the so-called Altrhein Armen (Old Rhine arms).

Very nice little hike.
Much past the water, beautiful pieces of forest. Nature reserve
You should wear waterproof shoes as you sometimes cross a stone bridge that is slightly flooded.
Whether it depends on the season, I can't say
