Beschreibung
Opened in 2014, Parc du Heyritz is a relatively new feature of Strasbourg. In September 2024, it became the first of the city's parks to be awarded "Refuge LPO" status as part of an ongoing collaboration between the local council and France's League for the Protection of Birds. A number of floating islands have been created to provide a habitat for a variety of aquatic birds to build their nests, and a pontoon has been constructed over the water to give visitors great viewing opportunities.
Parc du Heyritz is not only a wonderful place for introducing children to ornithology, it's an underrated birdwatching destination in its own right, close to the heart of Strasbourg. The most notable residents, and owners of some of the most peculiar feet that the avian world has to offer, are Bläßhuhn and Teichhuhn. They're joined by a particularly tame Graureiher and a family of Nilgans, as well as both Haubentaucher and Zwergtaucher, and a steady passage of Kormoran. In winter it's worth heading a little further towards Rive Etoile to see the visiting Reiherente too.
Lachmöwe and Mittelmeermöwe are permanent guests, as are Rabenkrähe, Saatkrähe, Amsel and Star. The trees near to the water also provide a home for a number of smaller birds including Gartenbaumläufer, Kohlmeise and Blaumeise. With a little luck, it may be possible to see raptors - Turmfalke, Sperber and Mäusebussard - at different times of the year.

Zugang
Parc du Heyritz is located south of the city center of Strasbourg, along the Canal du Rhône au Rhin and near the Hôpital Civil. There are car parks at Rive Etoile and the Hôpital Civil, but it's probably easier to walk or take the tram to Etoile-Bourse (lines A and D).

You can turn this into a longer walk by carrying on past the Mosque and following the River Ill. That's more worthwhile in the springtime when you may be able to find a number of passerines in the trees along the river.
