Tips from the Community

Steffen
June 9, 2026, Lac de Michelbach

Please take the nature conservation restrictions seriously. Otherwise, you will not only disturb the fauna, but the rangers on site are also very conscientious and ensure strict adherence. Dogs on a leash, take your trash with you, stay on the paths, and do not picnic in the grass. But that goes without saying.

Burnhaupt station is now the operational centre of the Dollertalbahn in Upper Alsace, which is operated as a museum line by the TTDA (Train-Thur-Doller-Alsace) association. It dates back to the 1920s, after the original station was destroyed in a French offensive in the First World War. 2013-12-08 Burnhaupt

The Michelbach watershed is a nesting ground for waterfowl and waders. As with many artificial reservoirs, the dam has diversified the natural habitat.
