Tips from the Community

Nicolas Vergnaud
November 6, 2024, Rhine Bend at Rheinau

Shortly after its confluence with the Thur, the Rhine forms a magnificent loop in the middle of nature. The river is never as beautiful as when it undulates through the landscapes.

Observe the right of way rules: Too narrow for crossing - whoever gets their bike on the bridge first has the right of way

The ferry connects Switzerland and Germany. You can easily travel to Eglisau on both sides of the Rhine. Closed during high water.
