Weingarten Town Center and the Walzbach Stream

Highlight • Settlement

Settlement remains from the Roman and Merovingian periods were found in the district. The village originated from a courtyard of the Weißenburg monastery in what is now northern Alsace, which of course lost its possessions again in 985 through the so-called Salic church robbery. In 1504 Duke Ulrich von Württemberg destroyed the village, which became a well-known market town after reconstruction. The watchtower was built in 1589 in order to be able to recognize approaching war hordes at an early stage. The tower was on the trade routes to Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Augsburg and Basel and was used by troops from the Palatinate as an observation tower for the escort teams. Weingarten was Palatinate until 1803, after which it came to the Grand Duchy of Baden as a result of the French coalition wars. (Wikipedia)

Weingartener Peat Bog and Floodplain Forest, Grötzingen

Highlight • Natural

After the rivers Kinzig and Murg broke through into the Rhine around 7,000 years ago, the former river bed became swampy and moor areas formed, including the Weingartener Moor. Some of the moor has a very high water table [. It was designated as a nature reserve on October 11, 1940, as the area was endangered by peat extraction. The surrounding quarry forest and part of the Grötzinger Baggersee followed on July 27, 1984

Rhine Cycle Path from Linkenheim Rhine Meadows to Rott Island

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice navigable Rhine bank. An avenue which starts from the island of Rott forms the Rheinufer-Radweg, which can be followed upstream by ferryboat rides. :)
