Tips from the Community
On the banks of the Wutach in Lauchringen, I ride very close to the water, enjoying the quiet, green surroundings. The section feels pleasantly connected to nature and invites you to slow down for a moment – a beautiful moment right on the Wutach.

With a mountain bike, a short stop here is worthwhile for the Rhine view. I stopped briefly, enjoyed the view over the water, and let the calm atmosphere on the bank sink in. A beautiful moment on the tour to take a deep breath and consciously take in the landscape.

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.
