The Landscapes of the Grand Ried

Highlight • Natural

We call the Grand Ried (from the Alemannic "Rieth", reed) the central part of the Alsace plain which extends between Sélestat and Strasbourg, on the flood-prone lands of the Ill and the Rhine. This immense swamp, little by little modified by man, forms a puzzle of wet meadows and small woods of willows and poplars. The floods of the Ill, frequent in spring, and the numerous resurgences of the water table, located at a shallow depth and at a constant temperature all year round, favor the growth of original vegetation (palustrine gladiolus, gentian, iris of Siberia, etc.) and attract many birds, including the sharp-billed curlew, the lapwing, the black-headed gull...

Canal du Rhône au Rhin Lock and Lockkeeper's House

Highlight • Structure

The Canal du Rhône au Rhin connects more exactly the Saône, a tributary of the Rhône, to the Rhine.

In Alsace, its banks have been paved from Marckolsheim to Strasbourg to allow easy cycling between the European capital and Colmar.

View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs for miles, often directly along the Rhine, so you have a constant view of the river. Unfortunately, it's not clear what makes the spot marked here a highlight.

Taubergießen Floodplain

Highlight • Natural

Here you cycle through the beautiful riparian forests of the Rhine. Between the trees you can see the water sparkling over and over again. Surely you also find a nice spot on the shore, where a short break is worthwhile.

Taubergießen River

Highlight (Segment) • River

With around 1,682 hectares, Tauber Gießen, which was declared a nature reserve in 1979, is one of the largest protected areas in Baden-Württemberg. It is located in the southern Upper Rhine plain - between Freiburg and Offenburg, mainly in the districts of the communities of Kappel-Grafenhausen, Rust and Rheinhausen. The name "Taubergießen" comes from a watercourse in the north of the area. "Gießen" means watercourses fed by groundwater; Fishermen describe nutrient-poor waters with low fish stocks as "deaf".
