Uettelsheim Rhine Bend: Old Trees by the Rhine

Highlight • River

At the Rheinbogen at the height of the Uettelsheimer See there are a number of very unusual rustic trees with aerial roots. The flood of the Rhine probably undermined and shaped the tree.

The Haus-Knipp railway bridge crosses the Rhine between Duisburg-Beeckerwerth and Duisburg-Baerl. The main bridge is 186 meters wide and, with this dimension, was the longest-span truss girder in Europe when it opened in 1912.

Myriameter Stone LXII on the Rhine

Highlight • Monument

These historic milestones are placed every ten thousand meters to the right and left of the Rhine between Basel and Rotterdam. -> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriameterstein

Be careful when the Rhine level is high, the path is often flooded!
