Elzwiesen Nature Reserve

Very beautiful and large nature reserve with the Schwartwald as background. The bike path leads straight through.

there are often various stand u. To observe migratory birds, partly to see ornithological rarities. In any case, a scenic, albeit flat route, with many small old bridges!

The Elzwiesen meadows have been a nature reserve since 1990. The area covers a total area of 410 hectares along the Elz River between Rust, Rheinhausen, and Herbolzheim. This area is particularly important because comparable grassland areas are becoming increasingly scarce. Due to development and increased use of the land for arable land, the breeding and refuge sites, as well as resting places, for many birds are disappearing throughout Europe.
