Jardin des Deux Rives / Garten der Zwei Ufer & Weißtannenturm
The Jardin des Deux Rives (Park of the Two Shores), also known as Garten der Zwei Ufer in German, is a park built in 2004 that straddles the France / Germany border along the river Rhine: One part is in Strasbourg, the other in Kehl. The two parts are linked with a pedestrian / bike bridge, the Passerelle des Deux Rives. On the south part of the park in Kehl is the Weißtannenturm (White fir tower), a wooden tower with a good view on the park and the Rhine from the top.
Above, I boarded a tram from the center of Strasbourg to Port du Rhin, the last stop before it crosses into Germany. I then walked to the German part of the Jardin des Deux Rives on foot.
