Freiburger Rieselfeld, Protected natural area in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Description
The Freiburger Rieselfeld is a nature reserve with meadows, pastures, and fields connected by a network of water channels. The landscape is shaped by open waterways that run throughout the entire area.
History
The area was established in 1891 as an innovative wastewater purification system that filtered sewage through natural methods. This early process was used before cleaned water flowed into the Dreisam river.
Culture
The name refers to the Rieselfelder technique, a historical irrigation system still visible today. Visitors can observe how water flows through the meadows and creates different habitats.
