Maudacher Bruch

Maudacher Bruch is a protected nature area shaped like a horseshoe and nestled between the districts of Gartenstadt, Oggersheim, and Maudach. The landscape combines wetlands, moorland, forests, meadows, and water bodies that together support a rich ecosystem.

The area formed as an old loop of the Rhine River and was later used by people for peat extraction. Archaeological finds reveal that the region was already inhabited during the Bronze Age.

The area takes its name from the Maudach district and recalls the peat cutters who worked here for centuries. Visitors can still see traces of this work in the wetland landscape today.

The area offers walking paths and observation points for exploring the natural landscape. Well-maintained trails and accessible routes make visits comfortable for people with different mobility needs.

The area is home to over one hundred bird species that nest and rest here, particularly during migration seasons. This high bird diversity makes it an important observation spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
