A nice place to stop. Not only can you charge your e-bike for free and get it repaired at the self-service station, but there's also a bistro with drinks and ice cream, as well as chicken nuggets and fries.

Just outside Birndorf, the cemetery and its modern, bright chapel are located on a small hill. The view down into the Rhine Valley and the Swiss Jura is wonderful, and there are shady benches and two amusing sculptures.

An old waterwheel that probably once powered a mill. Unfortunately, it only runs occasionally these days, when there's plenty of water.

Like all the other villages along this Swiss National Cycling Route. Rafz goes more than the extra step necessary to keep cyclists hydrated with having more than 7 beautiful well decorated fountains. The village is out of a picture book with all of its well-kept halb-timbered houses and its many small restaurants.

The Upper Gate in Waldshut-Tiengen is an impressive historic city gate dating back to the 13th century. From here, you have a magnificent view of the city and the Rhine. The gate is located directly on Kaiserstraße and is easily accessible by bike.
