View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs for miles, often directly along the Rhine, so you have a constant view of the river. Unfortunately, it's not clear what makes the spot marked here a highlight.

Rhine Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

yes, only gravel, but easy to drive because small and firm. Headwind is always unpleasant.....
Anyone who finds the Rhine boring can drive somewhere in the city. But in fact there are many beautiful stretches along the Alt-Rhein or in the Rhein-Auen. But then there is usually not even gravel.
