River in France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Souffel (German: Suffel) is a river in Alsace, France. It rises near Kuttolsheim and joins the river Ill (a tributary of the Rhine), south of La Wantzenau after a course of 25 kilometres (16 mi).[1] It gave its name to two villages on its banks: Souffelweyersheim and Griesheim-sur-Souffel.[1] Tributaries of the Souffel are Haltbach, Plaetzerbach, Musaubach, Kolbsenbach[2] and Leisbach.[3] In 1815 the Battle of La Suffel was fought on its banks.
