With a mountain bike, the riverside path along the Rhine in Waldshut is a very pleasant section. I rolled along the water in a relaxed way and found the mix of Rhine views, calm riverside atmosphere, and proximity to the old town really nice. Perfect for taking the pace down a bit and enjoying the tour comfortably.

A very beautiful photo opportunity: the last bridge over the Aare River. Here, after 292 kilometers, the Aare flows into the Rhine.
