Like a fish in water in Sarrewerden

In Sarrewerden (Alsace Bossue) a river flows through a little slice of paradise. No loud engine or speedboat, just an elegant little barque for floating down the river without disturbing the flora and fauna. Cut off from the world, let the water guide you. Enjoy the calm and serenity along the Saar River and forget about your worries.

The kids dip their hands in the water to catch the leaves floating by. Feel the refreshing breeze. But don't forget your binoculars, the ride is also educational: what do dragonflies eat? Why do water lilies close at night? Do bats make any noise? The rich surrounding ecosystems have so much to offer. At snack time, enjoy some unique treats, like madeleines with nettles or aqua mint cookies. There's something for all tastes in this heavenly spot.

Moving slowly through the surprising Rhine jungle

Your boat is a refuge for admiring the heart of the Ried, a region of aquatic meadows and thick forests. Float along the water as clear and calm as a lake. An oasis where the reflected landscapes seem to endlessly be by your side. Enter an unexplored world in the heart of wild nature. As the boat glides silently over the water, the boatman tells the story of this Rhenish jungle that changes with the seasons and the movements of the river. Observe a beaver popping its head out of the water, and a deer standing in the distance. Frogs, wild boar, foxes, or badgers: who knows what incredible biodiversity you might encounter! To top off this peaceful outing, taste some of the local products that take their time to flourish in this bountiful nature.

Glide to your heart's content

Continue your outing at the nearby Muttersholtz barefoot trail. All ages will love feeling the water, sand, grass, and pebbles under their bare feet, awakening a whirlwind of new sensations during a 90-minute stroll.

There are also the brewers of the Ried, whose doors are open for a friendly visit to learn more about the local beer-brewing know-how all while delighting your taste buds
