Rothmoos Marshes and Heaths

Nestled in the Nonnenbruch potash basin, this natural site features a mosaic of landscapes: forests, dry heaths, and wetlands.

A former spoil heap, restored by the Potash Mines, now hosts unique saline habitats created through ecological rehabilitation.

After a century of mining, nature is gradually reclaiming the area, recolonizing every abandoned space.

Mining subsidence has also encouraged the formation of wetlands where the Alsace groundwater table reaches the surface.

A walking trail invites visitors to explore this diversity of habitats, wildlife, and plants, showcasing a nature in full recovery.
