Baldenheim
Baldenheim (French pronunciation: [baldənaim] ⓘ) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in the Alsace region of north-eastern France.
The commune has been awarded two flowers by the Conseil National des Villes et Villages Fleuris (National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom) in the cities and villages in bloom competition.
Baldenheim is located in the canton of Sélestat and the arrondissement of Sélestat-Erstein in the centre of the Alsace region on the alluvial plain of the Rhine, 45 kilometres (28 mi) south of Strasbourg, 26 kilometres (16 mi) north by north-east of Colmar and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Sélestat. Access to the commune is by the D605 from Hessenheim in the south which passes through the village and continues north to Muttersholtz. The D209 comes from Schwobsheim in the east and passes through the village continuing west to join the D21 near the commune border. The D208 goes south-west from the village to Mussig.
The commune is at the centre of a flat alluvial plain and is part of the Ried Natural Region. The water table is only 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) below the surface on average. Water pierces the clay layer and gives rise to waterways. The Ill river flows relatively calmly across the plain. Like all the rivers in Vosges it is subject to an oceanic regime which is characterized by high winter waters and low summer waters, contrary to the Rhine. The last catastrophic flood occurred in May 1983. The climate is of semi-continental type with about 600 millimetres (24 in) of rain per year. Temperature differences are particularly marked: summers can be very hot and the winters harsh.
The commune outside the urban area has five distinct types of landscape:
About 80% of the utilized agricultural area is cultivated.
The Ill, the Blind and numerous streams flow north through the commune, all eventually merging with the Ill which joins the Rhine at Plobsheim.
