Gerstheim Border Crossing

Highlight • Structure

Here, you can cross the Rhine, a border river, relatively easily.

View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The D426 is a great way to cross the Rhine and thus the border.

A really fantastic cycle route along the canal. The surface is good and you can enjoy the shade of the trees and the cooler air next to the canal during the warmer months.
