Tips from the Community
With a mountain bike, the wooden sculpture on the Sculpture Trail along the Rhine is a nice little discovery along the way. I slowed down here briefly because the sculpture, together with the Rhine view, creates a special atmosphere. A nice stop for a photo and a short break right by the water.

With a mountain bike, the Rhine is a beautiful companion on the tour in the Südschwarzwald Nature Park. I found the combination of a quiet riverbank, nature, and the 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.

I found it impressive how the two rivers meet here and how the landscape takes on its own unique atmosphere because of it. Perfect for dismounting briefly, letting your gaze wander over the water, and enjoying the moment.

With a mountain bike, a short detour to the Altes Zollhaus and through the Zollstraße is worthwhile. I found the section interesting because, in addition to the ride, you also feel some history and old border/trading atmosphere. A nice little stop to slow down for a moment and let the special surroundings sink in.
