here people watch birds

I haven't been here for at least 45 years. At the time there was a tavern. We could have a drink there. go pedal boating. On Sunday there were people on the terrace and children laughing. Today, even if the site remains beautiful, there is not much left of this happy place. If any members have any information, I'm interested.

An observation tower well worth taking a short break from your run to appreciate the view from the top.

The Michelbach watershed is a nesting ground for waterfowl and waders. As with many artificial reservoirs, the dam has diversified the natural habitat.

La Belle Île pond is actually a series of ponds with wooden walkways that allow you to reach the islets. There are several marked walks to do in the area.

Built from 1979 to 1982, the dam regulates the water table and ensures the supply of drinking water to the Mulhouse conurbation and its surroundings. It is a protected place, classified as an approved voluntary nature reserve. The Mulhouse water service and the joint syndicate of the Michelbach dam ensure the management and operation of the infrastructures. A 4km pedestrian circuit (about 1h30 walk) allows, thanks to educational panels, to discover and observe many species of birds that nest there or are passing through (cormorant, osprey, crow, etc.). On the horizon stand out the peaks of the Vosges such as the Rossberg, the Thannerhubel, the Markstein or the Grand Ballon. Guided tours are organized in summer by the Tourist Office of Thann-Cernay.

Why should a detour here be worthwhile? You just have to look at the pictures....
