A guided immersion along the water
"My name is Belize, I work here in Biesheim as a seasonal boatwoman. I lead boat trips all summer long!"
She has been familiar with this activity since childhood, after discovering it through after-school activities. Since then, she knew that one day she would guide visitors to help them discover this peaceful corner of Biesheim.
Between gardens, wildlife and local legends
Leaving the old slaughterhouse, the boat first glides along the gardens bordering the houses, before entering a wilder area.
"We see weeping willows, trout, swans... I was even lucky enough to come across beavers!"
The slow pace of navigation encourages observation: the wildlife is very present, and the ambient calm gives the trip an almost meditative character.
But this peaceful moment is also punctuated by stories. Belize humorously shares the little legends of Giessen, like that of the bridge of the condemned or the secret passage.
"The kids love it when I tell them I might leave them under the bridge if they're naughty... it always makes everyone laugh!"
A moment suspended in the heart of Biesheim
Open to all, the walk can be enjoyed with family, friends, or solo. Everyone can find their own pace: a quiet moment, a nature walk, or a simple cultural moment.
Friendly, sunny, informative: three words chosen by Belize to describe this activity, which perfectly reflect the spirit of walks in Biesheim.
"If you're unsure, just come. We'll be waiting for you at the pier for a moment out of time."
