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

The Mathieu Ritter Observatory offers a beautiful view of Rhine Island, but it is too far away for photographers wishing to capture wildlife up close.

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.

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.

Start of a 26km path on the island.

People meet here to spend time in nature, there is always an expert who can and wants to explain the natural spectacle to you...

If you want to watch birds here, you should at least have binoculars with you. Even better would be a zoom scope that has a decent magnification. Unfortunately, the observatory is a bit far away from the water.
