The Souffel is a river that rises near Kuttolsheim and joins the Ill river,[1] (a tributary of the Rhine), south of La Wantzenau after a course of 26 km.[2][3] It has given its name to two villages on its banks Souffelweyersheim and of Griesheim-sur-Souffel (Griesheim-on-Souffel).[2] Tributaries of the Souffel are Haltbach, Plaetzerbach, Musaubach, Kolbsenbach[4] and Leisbach.[5]
