Saletio Cable Ferry (Seltz–Plittersdorf Rhine Ferry)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The ferry is fun. But it is not a pure cable ferry. And the frequency of the crossings is usually quite low, so bring enough time with you.

April 6, 2025,🇫🇷Bonjour Alsace - Sauerdelta und Baggerseen bei Munchhausen ☀️😎

A wonderful nature reserve. This is where the Sauer River flows into the Rhine, and the estuary delta is a large floodplain with many amphibians and birds.

Currently, no annoying mosquitoes 👌.

A wonderful afternoon, and of course, we were rewarded with a tarte flambée 😋

Today we went to the ceramics market at the gallop track in Iffezheim. It used to be bigger, but there are still extremely beautiful and selected goods. Afterwards we drove to Seltz, ate at the Auberge du Rhin and did this little tour.
