The path on the old railway embankment is the least scenically interesting section of the Old Rhine Adventure Trail.

The Eicher surroundings with its lakes actually have a lot of potential for really beautiful tours (it wasn't our first time in this area today), but somehow our tour today wasn't really satisfactory... we've definitely had nicer sections or route progressions.

I need to have a serious word with the planning committee 😅.
