웬츠바일러‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 천연기념물

We walked in, talking quietly, and found ourselves with a small group of people with big goals, searching for bird images.

Very beautiful garden with a wonderful view of the Rhine.

The Obere Au Observatory, nestled in the heart of the Petite Camargue Alsacienne, is a true haven for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Located in a protected area, this observatory offers an exceptional view of the many birds that inhabit this reserve. Visitors can observe storks, herons, and other iconic species in their natural habitat, while enjoying the peace and serenity of the surrounding landscape. An ideal destination for a total immersion in Alsatian biodiversity.

Don't expect too many plants or even a botanical garden. But it's a nice way to get to the Rhine, away from the tourist crowds. Also because it's a dead-end street. It's also a place with a beautiful history. Of course, there are plenty of those in Basel.

The Observatory overlooking Mittlere Au, nestled in the Petite Camargue Alsacienne nature reserve, is a true sanctuary for nature lovers. From this privileged vantage point, you can admire the splendor of the wetlands, where water and vegetation create a habitat teeming with life. The site is home to a wide variety of species: grey herons scan the calm waters, kingfishers burst forth in a burst of vivid colors, and great crested grebes glide silently across the surface. Majestic swans flit among the reeds, while migratory ducks occasionally enliven the landscape. As the seasons change, the wildlife evolves, offering constantly renewed spectacles to keen observers. This site is a window onto the richness of biodiversity, where each glance reveals a new wonder of the natural world.

The access to the observation tower is somewhat hidden. Don't drive too fast at this height and always look carefully to your right.

Much has been written about the fountains in Basel - their history, their architecture, their diversity. But one thing is often forgotten: the water in Basel's fountains is of drinking quality. Not only is it clean, but it also invites you to bathe and refresh yourself - and that is actually intended. A special detail that underlines the charm of the city in its own way.

In Basel, no square, no street, not even an alley was named after Friedrich Nietzsche. And yet he worked here as a professor for several years from 1869. During this time, he lived mostly in the area around this fountain on Spalentorweg and at Schützengraben. And during all these years, his route to the university led past this fountain, where a memorial plaque commemorates him today.
