Yesterday, in the middle of the wild garlic bloom, I was looking forward to the trail again. But unfortunately, it largely fell victim to forestry work. Hope it recovers by next year.

The Altrhein near Plittersdorf is a former arm of the Rhine, which was separated from the main current by the Rhine regulation in the 19th century (also called Rhine straightening). Today, the Altrhein is a calm, mostly slow-flowing or stagnant body of water in the Rhine floodplain near Plittersdorf. It is surrounded by floodplain forests, meadows, and small bodies of water. This natural landscape offers many animal and plant species an important habitat, for example birds such as herons and swans, as well as various fish species. In the past, the Rhine flowed directly past Plittersdorf and often led to floods. The course of the river was changed by the straightening, and the Altrhein was preserved as a "remnant" of the old Rhine. Today, it has above all ecological significance and also serves as a recreational area for people.

Beautiful sandy beach - good for swimming here, if the beach isn't underwater due to high water levels 😉

Very large excavated lake in the Rhine floodplains - the largest in Baden-Württemberg. Great hiking trails and all kinds of water sports. Accessible by large cargo ships via a navigable connection to the Rhine. Interesting history: in the early 1930s, gravel wasn't being excavated yet, but gold - the Nazis were searching for the legendary Rhine gold here. However, the yield was so low that they switched to gravel excavation after a few years.

You can see towards Karlsruhe through a gap in the trees. Since the viewpoint is not very high, the view is rather unspectacular. There is also a relaxing lounger here.

Waldprechtstal from above, magnificent views as far as the Rhine and the Northern Vosges Mountains as well as the Palatinate Forest - photo hotspot below the Mahlberg - the path used to be better, today it is badly eroded and very coarse gravel!!
