About a 15 km long hike through the Rhine floodplains near Hördt. The route was extended by about 2 km in the southern part compared to the signposted "Treidlerweg".
Besides the birdlife (including storks, swans, and geese), the highlight is certainly the section that runs upstream along the Rhine and offers resting places on the gravel beaches alongside views of passing cargo ships – unfortunately, benches along the way are rare.
Fortunately, mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects kept away, which may also be due to the breeze.

Hoerdter Rheinaue: Popular Circular Hiking Route
Follow in the footsteps of the Treidler and discover one of the few internationally protected and still ecologically intact floodplain landscapes. The circular hiking route takes you along the Michelsbach, past fields of yellow irises, grasses, and reed areas. The numerous fish ponds - the earth pits - equipped with pond and water lilies, offer a magical view. Refresh yourself with a picnic at the rest areas along the route, enjoy the tranquility, and take a deep breath of the floodplain forest air. Continue to follow the traces of the Treidler along the Rhine. Before the invention of steamboats, from the 8th century ships were towed upstream, meaning servants or draft animals pulled the ship from the shore with a long rope against the current. Watch the river with its leisurely gliding ships. A special feature of the Rhine floodplains is the still occurring wild grapevine, one of the rarest and culturally most valuable Palatinate plant species. Beneath willows, poplars, ashes, and elms, you will encounter pheasants and stilts.
