    Hiking

    The Franzosenweg takes its name from the time of the War of the Polish Succession from 1733 to 1738. After taking the Palatinate, the French army set up camp in Rheingönheim and from there built a bridge to Bannwörth on what is now Reissinsel in May 1734. The French built a road through the Neckarauer Forest and erected defensive walls.
