Beautiful nature reserve. The many white willows and dragonflies are immediately noticeable. Softwood and hardwood floodplains together form the floodplain forest, the species-richest habitat in Central Europe. Up to 400 day and night butterflies and over 900 different beetle species can be found here, including some species that are endangered throughout Europe.

Beautiful view of the Rhine. There is a ferry here, a restaurant with a beer garden that is well-frequented in summer, and plenty of parking spaces, often used by motorhomes.

🗣️ What does it mean? Translation: In standard German, it simply means "Pay attention!" or "Be careful!" Dialect factor: Using dialect attracts attention and a smile, which is often more effective than a strict, official traffic sign. It conveys the message: "We're in Baden, drive carefully, but stay relaxed."

🚲 Bike stop: If you're cycling from Durlach to Grötzingen, the mill is the perfect place for a short drink break. You can stand right on the bank and watch the waterwheel gently splashing.

🌊 The historic watermill on the Pfinz river in Grötzingen – often simply known as Grötzinger Mill or Upper Mill – is an idyllic testament to the pre-industrial era and one of the most photographed motifs of the “painters’ village”.

In 1946, 450 refugees from the Sudetenland came to Wöschbach. They felt welcome here. Wöschbach became their new home. People still fondly remember that. And so, three generations later, the "Heimatbrunnen" (Homeland Fountain) was created.
