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.

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.

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.

One of over 200 fountains in Basel. Not just a decorative fountain, but also for refreshment! Best drinking water!👌

Friedrich Nietzsche fountain on Spalentorweg Where Spalentorweg meets Schützengraben, a fountain was set in 1864, which was long called the "Schützengraben fountain". It was certainly familiar to the young Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). As a professor at the university, he spent a decade in Basel from 1869 to 1879. During these ten years, he lived mostly in the vicinity of this fountain. Shortly after his arrival in Basel, the thinker found a room as a subtenant of a seamstress at Spalentorweg 2. From July 1869 he had another room at Schützengraben 47 until he moved into his first own apartment. From 1875 to 1876 Nietzsche then lived at Spalentorweg 48, where a memorial plaque still commemorates him today. In all these years, his path to the university often led past this babbling fountain, which is reminiscent of a passage from his later work "The Gay Science": "We generous and rich in spirit, who stand like open wells on the street and do not want to prevent anyone from drawing from us...". These lines can also be found today on a memorial plaque that can be seen on the back of the fountain. Basel Nietzsche friends had it installed on August 25, 2015, the 115th anniversary of the philosopher's death. On this occasion, the fountain was also named "Friedrich Nietzsche Fountain".
