Come and explore the nature reserve

Guided tour

One of the missions of Réserves Naturelles de France is to introduce the public to protected environments and species because they are rare or endangered. To this end, the City of Strasbourg, which manages Rohrschollen Island Nature Reserve, invites the public to come on a guided tour to discover this island and specifically the Rhine environment.

Free guided tours given by reserve staff are organized on weekdays all through the year and on Saturday on special request.

Themes of nature reserve tours

Participants usually have a choice of two paths:

  • “Oie Cendrée” Footpath: presentation of the Nature Reserve (what is a reserve, how does it work, regulations, etc.), the alluvial meadow (management, native flora and fauna), the Rhine (improvements and consequences, migratory corridor for wintering species), and so forth.
  • “Forêt Galerie” Footpath: presentation of the Nature Reserve (what is a reserve, how does it work, regulations, etc.), the alluvial forest (management, native flora and fauna), the Rhine (improvements and consequences, migratory corridor for wintering species), forest ponds and their wildlife, the Bauerngrundwasser and more.
