A beautiful building on the canal, imposing view. This is the flood relief channel for the Pfinz and its tributary streams. The bike path goes right through the sparse alluvial forests.

The Pfinz relief canal runs in the Upper Rhine plain between Karlsruhe-Grötzingen and Leopoldshafen. The 15.6-kilometer-long canal diverts the Pfinz flood to the Rhine.

🌊 The beginning of the Pfinz relief canal (also known as the "division structure") is a site of significant hydraulic engineering and historical importance on the western edge of Grötzingen.

Here, the course of the Pfinz River splits, which is crucial for flood protection in Karlsruhe's city center and the Hardt region.
