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.
