The Texas Pass is a beautiful climb that rewards with impressive views. Recommended for recreational cyclists 🤩 and mountain interval riders 💪

Great panoramic trail. The colorful western green lizard lives in only a few places in Germany, including the Kaiserstuhl. It is becoming increasingly common there – for two reasons: while some animals suffer from the increasing heat, a particularly rare and colorful species thrives in the Kaiserstuhl and has rapidly multiplied there. The green lizard is a climate change winner because it is a heat-loving species. The green lizard needs places where it can bask in the sun and find food. Accordingly, it needs grassy stands with old grass, where, for example, grasshoppers can live. The green lizard also needs cover to hide from potential predators. The green lizard also uses the sun's warmth to incubate its eggs.

The Elzwiesen meadows have been a nature reserve since 1990. The area covers a total area of 410 hectares along the Elz River between Rust, Rheinhausen, and Herbolzheim. This area is particularly important because comparable grassland areas are becoming increasingly scarce. Due to development and increased use of the land for arable land, the breeding and refuge sites, as well as resting places, for many birds are disappearing throughout Europe.

If you are lucky you will see fish jumping up the stairs

Top vantage point 👍

Fantastic place on the route with a view. Beautiful

Just enjoy the peace...

I didn't see any lizards (they are very shy) but it's worth a long walk. However, access is very steep.
