Gambsheim-Rheinau Fish Pass

Highlight • Structure

The fish ladder Gambsheim is the largest in Europe. In 1997 Germany and France reached an agreement to build fish ladders in Iffezheim and Gambsbach. They are to allow the fish, despite the barrages to get to their spawning grounds. In Gambsheim salmon, eels, trout and river herring can be observed in an observation room on their way upstream.

Dalhunden Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Formerly, the building of the town hall formed one of the two barracks of Drusenheim. After the fall of Napoleon I, Drusenheim ceased to be a stronghold. The troops having been withdrawn, the two barracks were sold at auction in 1817, on condition that they be demolished. One of these buildings was purchased by Dalhunden who proceeded to rebuild it with some modifications. The date 1826 appears on the campanile.
