Descripción

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 Focha Común and Gallineta Común. They're joined by a particularly tame Garza Real and a family of Ganso del Nilo, as well as both Somormujo Lavanco and Zampullín Común, and a steady passage of Cormorán Grande. In winter it's worth heading a little further towards Rive Etoile to see the visiting Porrón Moñudo too.

Gaviota Reidora and Gaviota Patiamarilla are permanent guests, as are Corneja Negra, Graja, Mirlo Común and Estornino Pinto. The trees near to the water also provide a home for a number of smaller birds including Agateador Europeo, Carbonero Común and Herrerillo Común. With a little luck, it may be possible to see raptors - Cernícalo vulgar, Gavilán Común and Busardo ratonero - at different times of the year.

Accesso

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).

Información extra

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.
