Nature
The Ried de la Zembs area from Herbsheim to Erstein is a type 1 continental ZNIEFF, includes Gerstheim, and consists of wet meadows, wet woodlands, and several groundwater-fed waterways. The flood-prone areas along the river and the Rhine islands created by repeated interventions in the river form a protected ecological network.
The trail on Île de Gerstheim passes through the island’s diverse habitats. Jardin de Nicole is an extensive historic orchard overlooking the Ried, with century-old fruit trees and roses, shrubs, and perennials in seasonal bloom.
The tourist viewpoint near Gerstheim offers an elevated view of the fish passage, is equipped with numerous information panels, and is secured.

At the Espace Henri Loux in Gerstheim, around 150 pieces of traditional Alsatian tableware are displayed in five showcases, including some rare or unique pieces. The exhibition offers French-language audio guides that allow visitors to follow in Henri Loux’s footsteps.
