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.

In view of these historic flood marks, it becomes clear why there is a dyke on the Rhine (even if it is called dam) ...

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).

Since the weather was supposed to be rather poor this weekend, and even snow was forecast for the Black Forest, I accepted an invitation to Taubergießen today.
Despite all the forecasts, we were lucky and it stayed dry up above.
A cozy little hike that's sure to be very nice in spring.

A complete contrast to yesterday:

Today, under brilliant sunshine and spring-like temperatures, the hike was a delight from beginning to end! 🤩🔝

The contrast between the expansive dry meadows and the riparian forest crisscrossed by streams could hardly be greater.

The Taubergießen nature reserve is incomparably beautiful here (especially near Dornskopf)! 🤩
