★★★★★a year agoSehr schöner Ort zum erholen & entspannen. Große Wiesen, Einmündungen in den Rhein zum spazieren gehen & Spielfläche wie Sand am Meer für Kids und Tier.

★★★★★a year agoEs geht nichts über einen Spaziergang am Rhein. Am besten wenn es weder schön noch schlecht ist, das Wetter. Dann ist nicht so viel los. Auf der Rheinwiese war heute ein herrlicher Wind und die Pflanzen wurden darin geschaukelt. Zuweilen gibt es dort sehr viele Blumenartige Gewächse, wunderschön!
