Nice view from the bridge over the Weschnitz near Lorsch. The creek meanders romantically to the south with the old dam. Behind it begins the nature and bird sanctuary. Unfortunately no longer open to the public (man is probably no longer part of nature...)

Long straightened canal. Could be renatured. 😁

Hiking

Here you can see how the stream has been degraded into a flood channel by human influence: constricted, straightened, deepened, canalised, embanked and unshaded over large sections. Converted to capture and quickly remove flood waves and drain the surrounding meadows. This has deprived it of all ecological functions. In the meantime, however, renaturation has begun and the Weschnitzaue between the old and new Weschnitz is a FFH protected area and a bird sanctuary. At the Hans-Ludwig-Turm a sign informs about the bird sanctuary.
