The comeback of the salmon: a success story along the Murg

The return of the salmon to the Murg after around 100 years of absence marks an important milestone for the river community.

The newly initiated salmon experience path along the Murg traces the fascinating journey of the Atlantic salmon in the region. With over 70 informative plates and QR code films, the path not only conveys the history of salmon in the Murg, but also the meaning of the river for nature and the local community in Gernsbach, Forbach, Gaggenau, Weisenbach, Rastatt and Baiersbronn.

The four sections of the salmon experience path represent the variety of the Murg and enable visitors to discover the different facets of the river - from tame to wild. The thematic structuring of the path not only celebrates the return of the salmon, but also the beauty and uniqueness of the ecosystem along the Murg.

a long journey: the salmon return

After the salmon was last spotted in Murg in 1925, the tide turned. Thanks to improved water quality and targeted protective measures, the salmon found their way from the North Sea back into the river. The establishment of fish passes and hydro-fishing lifts proves the commitment to keeping species and resettlement of the salmon in the region.

The salmon as a symbol of clean water

The recessed salmon in the Murg not only stands for the successful renaturation of the river, but also as a symbol for the restoration of a healthy ecosystem. The presence of the salmon signals that the water is clean and life -friendly again, which is an important message for environmentalists and nature lovers.

outlook for the future

Although the exact number of salvage salmon is unclear, the authorities hope that the current efforts will bear fruit. With the suspension of around 90,000 young salmon in the Murg, the first step is taken for sustainable population security. The coming years will show whether the efforts to protect the salmon and its habitat will bear fruit.
