Hiking
After this easy, 13-kilometer-long premium circular hike, you will appreciate the beauty of the Hegau. Start at the Rheinuferpark in Gailingen and follow the path through vineyards, past the historic St. Nicholas Chapel to the mysterious Staffelwald.
At the Swiss border, a customs hut and the "Bibermüli" invite you to rest and take a refreshing swim in the Rhine. The route goes back through the Staffelwald with fantastic views from the "Ritterhalde" to the Alps.
After about three and a half hours, you will reach the starting point again. Finally, enjoy a swim in the Rhine or stop off at the "Wiffe74". A cross-border hiking experience with moderate differences in altitude, perfect for leisurely hikers!

Otherwise, this is a really well-signposted tour. Across the border, it's great that it worked out.
But otherwise, it's more in the "boring" category and too much in the forest. Hardly any views, little that calls for a repeat.

At least the path is well signposted, you have to admit that, and the information boards (there aren't that many) were also quite interesting.
