With a mountain bike, a short stop at the confluence of the Surb into the Aare is worthwhile here. I found it beautiful to see how the small river flows into the Aare and how the landscape thus gets a calm, natural atmosphere. A pleasant place to dismount briefly, let your gaze wander over the water, and consciously enjoy the tour.

With a mountain bike, the Rhine in the Südschwarzwald Nature Park is a wonderful companion on the tour. I found the combination of quiet riverbank, nature, and Black Forest landscape particularly pleasant. It's worth rolling a little slower here, letting your gaze wander over the Rhine, and taking in the relaxed atmosphere.

Great view from the bridge over the Klingnauer Stausee – vast expanses of water and an impressive natural backdrop directly below you.

You pass by here so often. A place to cool down or fill a bottle.

Laufenburg was first documented in 1173, when the monastery in Säckingen granted the town as a fief to the Habsburgs. The first documented mention of Loufenberc dates back to 1207; the place name means "mountain near the waterfall, near the whirlpool, near the rapids" (Wikipedia).
