Circular
This idyllic circular route leads through one of the most important floodplain forest areas on the Upper Rhine, just outside Mannheim. The trail opens up the Reißinsel nature reserve, located in the striking Rhine bend, and runs almost exclusively on flat, natural forest and riverside paths. A highlight is the unspoilt character of the white willow riparian forest and the extensive orchards, which form a sharp contrast to the industrial backdrop of the nearby city. The route is completely flat and ideal for a relaxing walk, a short run or a nature observation trip for the whole family. It starts at the car park on Rheingoldstrasse.
