Salmon Experience Trail Murgtal - Section Rastatt, small loop
Salmon in the Murg? Oh yes! They were gone for a long time. As water quality and aquatic habitats continue to improve, they are returning! Learn more on the Salmon Experience Trail.
In Rastatt, you can take a large or small loop. You start at the InfoSalmon at the Badener Bridge, which gives you an overview and lets you fly over the lower Murg via QR code. You dive into the history of salmon fishing and follow the salmon on their long journey to the sea and back. Can you recognize the fish by their colorful patterns on the game board at the children's playground? At the Badener Hall, you'll learn how the straightened Murg is being transformed back into a more diverse riverbed, creating valuable habitats for fish. Beyond the Franz Bridge, you look into the future of the river in times of climate change and get to know the “unknown creature,” the fish. At the end, you meet the margrave with his sometimes curious regulations that precisely governed fishing, especially salmon fishing.
See you soon at the Murg!
