オターシュタットのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The contrast between the urban environment and the natural river landscape is particularly beautiful – a real highlight for anyone who wants to experience Mannheim from its relaxed side.

In good weather, the sky and clouds are reflected in the water, and with a bit of luck, cargo ships or sailboats pass by – a quiet, powerful panorama in the middle of nature.

The dam path runs along the Old Rhine and forms a large part of the circular trail across Koller Island. It is easy to walk, largely paved, and offers several kilometers of unobstructed views of the nature reserve, Lake Koller, and the Otterstadt Old Rhine.

If you follow the dam path, you will reach a bench that invites you to take a relaxing break with its wide view over the nature reserve and the Koller Island.

The beach area is particularly attractive: a long, fine sandy shore that slopes gently into the clear water – perfect for families with children.

The lake is ideal for swimming, sailing, and relaxing in the summer. There's a sandy beach, which is also popular with nudists, as well as lawns for sunbathing and picnicking. The water quality is regularly monitored. There are no amenities such as changing rooms or restrooms, so the focus here is on pure nature.

Unfortunately, we missed the flowering period by 14 days. But it must look beautiful.
