The Plaine de l’Au is this wetland region on the Rhine’s floodplain in the Land of the Three Borders, where the river, before its course was straightened by dykes (19th century) and then channelled (early 20th century), spread out into multiple branches.Between the Kembs hydroelectric power station to the north and the Grand Marais trail to the south, water accompanies us throughout this route, where biodiversity and human activities strive to coexist harmoniously.The time given does not include stops at the five observation points and other points of interest along the route.

Departure from Kembs (Haut-Rhin)
Two centuries ago, the Rhine flowed in a network of meandering channels. From 1842, with the construction of dykes by Tulla, and then around 1930 with the construction of the Grand Canal, the river was channelled into a single course and the Rhine’s ecosystem was profoundly altered.Today, there is a stark contrast between nature, which is becoming overgrown again as it adapts to the drying conditions with diverse and unique flora and fauna, and the intense industrial activity centred on shipping and hydroelectric power.
