Gronne
Gronne is a protected natural area in Ulm’s Wiblingen district, alongside the nearby Lichternsee. Together, these waters and habitats form a Fauna-Flora-Habitat zone for wildlife. Birds, water insects and fish use the area for breeding, resting and feeding. The setting shows how nature conservation fits within Ulm’s urban landscape.
The Danube’s revitalisation strengthened this environment by restoring a more natural flow and creating new habitats. Stone reinforcements were removed, and the riverbanks were reshaped to support changing water movement. Protection shapes every visit here: grilling, camping, loud celebrations and unleashed dogs are prohibited. Cycling and driving remain limited to designated areas, with checks helping safeguard the habitat.
The clearest detail is the meeting of riverbank, water and wildlife near Lichternsee. That quiet combination gives Gronne its ecological character.
