Marais et landes du Rothmoos

Located in the Nonnenbruch potash basin, the reserve is home to various natural environments combining forests, dry moors and wetlands. An old slag heap, which has been ecologically rehabilitated by the Potash Mines, is also included in the perimeter and gives rise to original saline environments.
Nature is reclaiming its rights after a century of mining on the site, and is gradually colonising each area. The mining subsidence resulting from the exploitation of potash in the subsoil has caused the appearance of wetlands linked to the outcrop of the Alsace water table.
A walking trail takes you on a discovery of these natural environments, its fauna and flora.
