Jardin des Deux Rives

Jardin des Deux Rives is a unique transnational park that spans approximately 150 hectares along both sides of the Rhine River, connecting Strasbourg, France, and Kehl, Germany. Highlight of the park is the Passerelle des Deux Rives, a pedestrian and cyclist bridge designed by architect Marc Mimram. The Park boasts various themed gardens, art installations, and open lawns. It also features playgrounds, picnic areas, and self-service barbecues.

For those seeking a broader perspective, the Weißtannenturm, a 44-meter-high wooden observation tower located on the German side, provides a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscapes, including the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains. Themed gardens, such as the "Garden of Treats" with its oversized elements, provide interactive experiences, especially enjoyable for families. The park also features playgrounds, picnic areas, and self-service barbecues, catering to both relaxation and recreational activities. Throughout the year, the Jardin des Deux Rives hosts numerous cultural events, including concerts, dance performances, and art exhibitions, reflecting its role as a cultural hub in the region. The park's design encourages visitors to seamlessly traverse the French and German sides, offering a blend of both cultures in a single visit.
