Rhine Floodplain Route Karlsruhe - Kehl: Stage 2
After Plittersdorf, we enter the Rastatt floodplain landscape with its unique fauna and flora. Landscape-wise, we move through one of the last primeval forests in Europe. Many rare animals are offered a safe refuge with the possibility to survive. Rare plants have settled on the most diverse soils and natural conditions or lead an isolated life here, protected by the Baden-Württemberg state nature conservation authority.
How does the picture change when we move from the biotope into the human-shaped biosphere: the Rhine, canalized; logged forests, agricultural landscapes - but not dead.
Hikers are advised to take a minute or two to perceive and internalize the many impressions.

Rheinauenweg Karlsruhe - Kehl: Stage 1
Officially, the "Rheinauenweg Karlsruhe-Kehl" does not exist. Only "Mannheim-Karlsruhe" and "Kehl-Whyl am Rhein" are designated. Both are marked with the symbol of the blue wave.
We start at the end of the designated path "Rheinauenweg Mannheim-Karlsruhe" in Karlsruhe at "Rheinstrandbad Rappenwörth", S-Station "Daxlanden, Rappenwörth". Mainly, we can expect field and gravel routes but also paths.
Surrounded by forest, the original landscape of the "Rheinauen" can still be well imagined. Along the dam, past lakes, and former old side arms of the Rhine, one can hardly see the wide tamed river flowing only a few hundred meters parallel to the path, but it remains present.
When we leave the forest (Au am Rhein), we enter agricultural landscapes, interrupted by modern innovations such as cities and industrial facilities. Here the path only stays briefly. It leads us back and forth between the Rhine and forest. It traces its way past the Goldkanal to the Murgkanal. Along the banks of the Murg, past stone walls, we cross the NSG Rastatter Ried until we reach Plittersdorf. Here, the expectations of ornithologists are met.
