Leeheim Space Monitoring Station

Highlight • Structure

Large satellite dish from the Federal Network Agency. A technical highlight, almost like James Bond.

There is a large parking lot here, a great starting point for hiking or cycling tours.

Cycle path along the main dike and the Old Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

Here, you can compete with the racing cyclists for many kilometers on the best asphalt ;-). Riding away from the road in what is admittedly a rather desolate landscape has something almost meditative about it.

Ginsheim Bike Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle route between Ginsheim and the Gustavsburg industrial park, far from the car, always along or on the embankment.

Rhein Cycle Expressway Am Damm

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a really great cycle path. You can decide whether you want to drive asphalted or on the dam a grass-gravel road.

Started with a headwind and clouds, on the way back the sun sometimes came out. Temperature around 9-12 degrees. Nice smooth clean trails. A tour to get your legs ready for spring.

2 hours on the way at 2 degrees and dreary humid November weather. No photo weather today.
My new overshoes from Vaude are great, finally warm feet 🙂🙃.
Only the toughest are on the road now, especially real cyclists. No pedelec was in sight 😁.

Started at an autumnal 6 degrees and fog. The last few meters from the Altrheinschänke to the car we had sunshine and almost 20 degrees. Even in fog, the wide and flat landscape with some trees is interesting.

Since the journey from Kreuzlingen to Radolfzell had to be canceled in the morning for technical reasons, I made up the 30km on the way home in the afternoon. 😅

In good cycling weather, once again used the excellent cycle paths on the dike. The loop back on agricultural paths is unfortunately a bit bumpy, but easy to drive on and consistently fixed. We visited the Altrheinschänke for the first time: lunch €11.10 (starter soup, meatloaf, vegetable platter) a clear recommendation for "imitators" of this tour.

Bright blue sky and accordingly it got warm, about 30 degrees at the end of the tour. Again delicious eaten at the Fischmaster.

Sometimes there was a few drops of rain, a good 20 degrees, pleasant to drive. We started again in Ginsheim and started the way back at Leeheim, stopping at the Fischmaster.

In pleasant summer weather we did the usual round trip from Ginsheim with a stop at the Fischmaster. What was noticeable compared to previous tours were the electric fences to keep wild boar away because of swine fever and the very wet agricultural areas.
