ベルハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

The so-called Bear Ponds are fish ponds managed by the Ottersheim Angling Club. They are located in a nature reserve. At the southeastern corner of the lower pond, there is a fish sculpture commemorating Jean Benz, a prominent figure in the angling community. A beautiful covered rest area, the "Jean Benz Park," with two benches and a table, has recently been created at the northeastern corner of the lake, along the Queich Valley Cycle Path. It's a wonderful place to unwind... especially on mild evenings when the sun sets in the west and you can gaze out over the ponds.

At the Spitaläcker lies the Bärensee with benches around the lake.

The straightening of the Rhine by the Baden engineer Tulla shortened the shipping route between Basel and Worms by 81 km and better protected the region from flooding. However, this shifted the flood risk downstream of the Rhine and affected biodiversity.

The nature reserve along the Otterbachbruch is a worthwhile hiking area. Beautiful forest trails allow you to explore the natural surroundings along the wildly winding Otterbach stream.

Flood retention structure to regulate the Otterbach.

totally beautiful and idyllic here. The path here is not paved, but it was still easy to drive today (at a muddy time of year). A few meters further there is a nice break location with seating and a table -> https://www.komoot.de/highlight/5850725

Beautifully located fish pond near Ottersheim.

Except for the ugly little house, I think the dam wall is ok - it is needed for flood protection and is largely green. There was no litter when I visited and I hope it stays that way.
