Tips

July 12, 2020

Cycling

Paths run along the city wall and also over the city wall. A tour is highly recommended.

Cycling

On the crown of the wall, you can only walk along the railway line. Three-quarters of the city wall must be viewed from accompanying paths. The mountain-side wall is a real rarity, making it all the more incomprehensible that it is covered for half a kilometer by a 2 m high hedge. UNESCO should donate a set of hedge trimmers instead of expensive restorers.

A string of medieval towers protecting the old city walls are well preserved above the little town, with awesome views of the Rhine valley, worth a short detour from the Rhine trail
