Visit the Ried in a flat-bottomed boat

The «Boatman of the Ried» in Muttersholtz offers you a choice of several itineraries to explore the natural environment and discover the history of the Ried.

These itineraries, guided by one of the last boatmen of the Alsatian Ried, are as entertaining as they are enriching from a cultural point of view. Aboard an authentic flat-bottomed boat crafted by his own hands, Patrick will introduce you to the river and surrounding countryside which constitutes his everyday working environment.
