Great way along the Rhine. There is an awful lot of wild garlic in the forest.

Riverside Path Along the Rhine

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It is always a mystery to me why you create highlights twice, three and four times just so that you have a highlight even though there is already one

March 30, 2025,Eine Runde Ketscher Rheininsel

A beautiful route, but very straight. A good walk for a maximum of 1.5 hours. There are a few benches, most of them directly along the Rhine.

Phew - after this morning's brief rain, nature resembled a sauna landscape 🥵..
Proximity to the Rhine didn't bring any cooling, but at least two-thirds of the tour was in the shade...

The Rhine island was created by the Tulla Rhine regulation around 1826/30 and has been a protected wet, dry, forest, and meadow biotope for decades.
You can explore …

Today, after a long time, we circumnavigated the Rhine island again.
Spooky! The Rhine, the lifeline of Europe: empty!
In the almost 40 minutes we walked along the bank, we only encountered two half-empty cargo ships. That was worse than during the peak coronavirus season!

Nice hike in the morning, in the shade all the time. The altitude meters are also limited 😉🤣

The focus of today's tour was a mutual exchange with three former colleagues. I deliberately chose the Ketscher Rhine Island, as we had worked in the greater Speyer area...
So distance, speed, etc. were rather secondary.
In addition, this island is very manageable... and, above all, very natural.

March 6, 2022,Wanderung um die Ketscher Rheininselsee und Hohwiesensee

The Hohwiesesee is a bathing lake, but built up all around with holiday homes. Behind it, the Kraichbach, coming from Kraichtal, flows into the Rhine. The Ketscher Rheininsel is a nature reserve. A beautiful circular route leads around here. 🚶‍♂️🌞

Since the weather forecast wasn't really good today, I didn't want to drive that far. I also felt like going out into nature again. So I decided to visit the Ketscher Rheininsel, a beautiful, quiet nature reserve. I haven't been there for a long time either. It was absolutely beautiful and the right decision!

November 1, 2022,Wanderung - Herbstruhe auf der Ketscher Rheininsel 🍁🍂🥾

The Ketscher Rhine Island is interesting in all seasons. Only the militant eBikers are annoying at times.

At the mouth of the Ketscher Altrhein and the Northern Baggersee, plans for next year have already matured.
