Trail along the railway to the Rhine

Highlight • Trail

A great alternative (which I did not know before Komoot) to the way to the bridge over the Rhine directly on the southern tangent.

If you have been cycling for a while or are on your way home after a hard day's work, the weir invites you for a short break. Far away from street noise and traffic, you can breathe a bit in this idyll and "come down". A bit of birdsong and the sound of the Alb, before you dive back into the world of hustle and bustle. A very nice place!

The tour follows the Alb to the mouth at the oil port, goes briefly along the banks of the Rhine and then along the Pfinz relief canal back to Grötzingen.
Varied bike paths and some single trails.

August 6th is the day, cycling with Peter. First attempt of the tour, I'm still undecided whether the tour won't be too long. Alternatively, I can imagine Knielinger See, Fritschlach and Oberwald.

Drawbridge at the top, on the Pfinzentlastungskanal, I've never had that before. They have to get to the Schmugglermeer somehow. It was quite interesting 🤩

After stopping at the Durlacher Vogel it started to rain, it had been dry before. I then stopped recording but then drove to Berghausen Hummelberg -> S4

The destination is the Hofgut Maxau (that's where the cake comes from) - there are many options for getting there and the way back, the options along the Pfinz Pfinzentlastungskanal and along the Alb.
