Embankment path by the Old Rhine branch near Karlsruhe

Highlight • Trail

Nice path on the dam, mainly used by cyclists. At this point there is also an old Rhine arm drain to regulate the water in the Fermasee.

Dike Trail through the Dammwald

Highlight • Trail

The path is located around Fritschlach and near the Old Rhine and the Rhine, where the flood dams are. On closer inspection, the network of flood dams looks very confused and illogical, but it makes sense. The hiking and partly also bike paths lead over these dams and always offer a wonderful view, no matter what time of year. They often lead straight ahead for kilometers, which is not always so exciting. Still highly recommended.

Observation Deck at Fermasee

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of two observation platforms on Lake Fermasee. The other observation platform is on the other side of the lake. Very nice lake panorama, so it is worth stepping onto the platform.

Ferma Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Fermasee is originally an old Rhine arm, which was used for a long time as a quarry lake. Parts of the shore are designated as a nature reserve and are closed to visitors. There are, however, several viewpoints from which the waterfowl can be observed on the lake.

April 28, 2024,Wander - Tour...rund um die Rheinauen

A super nice day with my loved ones 🥰

Today we went to the Rhine. A relaxed tour, but also adventurous. A small expedition into the insect and water world of the Rhine meadows, including treading water 🤣....after 2 km the three of us had to go through flooded forest paths about 25cm high.

Originally, gardening was on the agenda...🌿🌾 Pruning plants ✂️. But since the power ⚡️ was turned off for 6 hours due to repair work, the three of us had to go 😉...good decision, it was super mega beautiful❗️

When the weather was a bit cloudy, we started at the Neuburgweiher ferry. Then my tour took me through a beautiful autumnal 🍁🍂 Rhine region 🌾🌳 ... many great untouched nature sections were on my way 😊

April 29, 2026,Fermasee ☀️🌱⛱️ wie ein Tag am Meer

This Wednesday feels like summer. The Rhine meadows are blooming in a riot of color, wild garlic and lily of the valley are competing in bloom, and at the Fermasee a gentle breeze conjures the sound of the sea for us.
☀️🌱🌸🌼.
It's also very beautiful at home 🥰

October 3, 2025,Neuburgweier | Altrheinarm – Aussichtspunkt am Fermasee Runde

Today we wanted to get back into nature. The weather forecast wasn't exactly great, but as long as it's dry, you can enjoy nature to the fullest. A successful and varied tour along the Old Rhine and past nature reserves. We were accompanied by birdsong and saw many different animals.
