Besides the birdlife (ducks, geese, swans, storks, cormorants), the highlight is certainly the section along the Rhine. Here you can watch the cargo ships passing by and take a relaxing break on the gravel beaches.

In the footsteps of the tow tractors... here you can discover one of the few internationally protected and ecologically intact floodplain landscapes. The circular hiking trail leads along the Michelsbach, past fields of yellow irises, grass and reed beds. The numerous fish ponds - the earth pits - offer a magical sight.
A towpath is/was a path along rivers used …

Today again drove to the Palatinate to walk the Treidlerweg. The nice thing about it was that I didn't have to plan anything at all, but I could use a suggested route from komoot. Since I kept seeing Michel with his headphones on various pictures, I immediately dug up my old iPod and listened to old songs on the tour. …
