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.

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.

It's worth taking a look at the Lauter from the many bridges. The perspectives are always different.
