Roadbook
See the marked route on the map. Along the Old Rhine there are always wonderful hiking trails (sometimes shared with bike paths). Only in the Eselschwanz nature reserve are there smaller forest paths (pay attention to the trail regulations!!!!) "only" for pedestrians through the idyllic floodplain forest. Always keep your eyes and ears open, as many birds can be observed this way, such as the kingfisher.
