The Sauer is a tributary of the Rhine, approximately 70 km long. It originates in the Palatinate Forest near the Franco-German border. On its course, it flows through the Northern Vosges and partly forms the border between Germany and France. It then crosses Alsace before flowing into the Rhine near Munchhausen. The Sauer has a catchment area of about 800 km² and an average discharge of around 6 m³ per second.

Willow bushes, marshy areas and reeds - the Sauer Delta nature reserve is an unusual landscape! It was declared a nature reserve by ministerial decree in 1997 and 486 ha were protected. From an ornithological, botanical and landscape perspective, it is a truly exceptional area and one of the last regions in France where the Rhine floodwaters can still spread out.

The "Saletio" cable ferry is unique in its kind. A cable system whose principle consists of using the sole force of the current to move. It connects the two banks Seltz (FR) with Plittersdorf (DE). It can transport 70 passengers, 28 bicycles, and 6 vehicles. Motorhomes and caravans are not allowed on the ferry. The ferry is free.

The majestic church dominates the town of Lauterbourg. Worth seeing are the medieval bell tower, the Gothic choir - which dates from the mid-15th century.

A museum ship that was still in operation until 1989. A great photo opportunity. And of course, there are information panels about the history of eel fishing on the Rhine.
