Trail along the railway to the Rhine

A great alternative (which I did not know before Komoot) to the way to the bridge over the Rhine directly on the southern tangent.

If you have been cycling for a while or are on your way home after a hard day's work, the weir invites you for a short break. Far away from street noise and traffic, you can breathe a bit in this idyll and "come down". A bit of birdsong and the sound of the Alb, before you dive back into the world of hustle and bustle. A very nice place!

View of Karlsruhe Palace

Highlight • Castle

Karlsruhe Palace was built in the Baroque style from 1715 onwards as the residence of Margrave Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach. It served as the residential palace of the Margraves and Grand Dukes of Baden until 1918. Today the building houses the Baden State Museum and part of the Federal Constitutional Court.

There is a nice park behind the castle.

3 weeks after my fall and my shoulder blade fracture, I was on the bike for the first time and it worked, but only just. But as the saying goes, it wouldn't be so good to just gloat about it. 👍

June 25, 2023,🚲 Sonntagsrunde zum Rheinhafen ⛴️ (Tag 1)

*actually a lot of camera pictures... a lot of impressions... after many years my memory card (still commendable after so many years) had finally given up its "ghost" and therefore no camera pictures were available anymore.
An interesting variant that was not previously known on the way back, recommended!
