Tips

The Taubergießen is one of the largest and most biodiverse nature reserves in Baden-Württemberg. Located between Rust and the Rhine, it encompasses approximately 1,700 hectares of pristine floodplain landscape. Characteristic features include its branching waterways, wet meadows, forests, and oxbow lakes, which support a unique flora and fauna.

Here you can find rare plant species, dragonflies, amphibians, and an impressive array of birdlife – including kingfishers, herons, and even storks. The landscape is characterized by tranquility and unspoiled nature, making it ideal for hiking, cycling, or observing wildlife. Particularly fascinating: the area is a remnant of the ancient Rhine floodplain as it existed before the Rhine was straightened.
