It's beautiful on the Rhine. And here is a particularly beautiful section. I saw 1000 swans here yesterday.

Rhine Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

yes, only gravel, but easy to drive because small and firm. Headwind is always unpleasant.....

View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs for miles, often directly along the Rhine, so you have a constant view of the river. Unfortunately, it's not clear what makes the spot marked here a highlight.

Here you cycle through the beautiful riparian forests of the Rhine. Between the trees you can see the water sparkling over and over again. Surely you also find a nice spot on the shore, where a short break is worthwhile.

The Taubergießen needs no comment.
I was happy to finally be able to cycle there again after all the rain, mud and closed paths.
It's always a pleasure.

It might bore some people because I'm there so often, but I feel completely at home in this area and all thoughts of dystopias are gone.
