Loop
This idyllic loop 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, which lies in the striking Rhine bend, and runs almost exclusively on flat, natural forest and riverside paths. A highlight is the unspoiled 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. The route starts at the parking lot on Rheingoldstrasse.
