Schwedensäule Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

The ideal starting point for tours north of the Kühkopf. The car park itself is not developed or paved and can only be reached via a cobblestone road for the last stretch.

August 13, 2023,Forsthaus - Schusterwörth Sandstrände entlang des Rheins bei Erfelden

Beautiful route in the Ried. Start and end of the Nistweg car park at the forester's lodge in Erfelden. Along the Rhine with many sandy beaches and picturesque shady spots that invite you to rest.

After we broke off our first attempt together in June 2021 because of an extreme bug plague, I have finally managed to show my parents the Knoblochsaue. ☺

A lap around the Knoblochsaue from the Schwedensäule car park. Nice way in the best weather. Due to the low water there is a lot of Rhine beach.
