A popular sandy and pebble beach bay on the southern shore. Excellent for a swim on a hot day — calm, clean water with lovely views across the lake.

On the Wutach riverbank in Lauchringen, I ride very close to the water, enjoying the quiet, green surroundings. The section feels pleasantly connected to nature and invites you to slow down for a moment – a beautiful moment right on the Wutach.

At the Wutach waterfall with the small bridge, it's worth stopping for a moment to soak in the special atmosphere. The water, the natural surroundings, and the crossing over the Wutach make this spot a beautiful highlight on the tour – calm, fresh, and truly worth seeing.

On the Wutach, I ride through a wonderfully natural section where the water really accompanies the tour beautifully. The river brings calm, freshness, and variety to the route – a beautiful place to slow down for a moment and enjoy the nature on the bank.

On the Wutachuferweg, I ride nicely close to the water, enjoying the quiet, nature-close course of the route. The splashing of the Wutach, the green surroundings, and the relaxed path guidance make this section a really pleasant part of the tour.
