Gustavsburg Railway Underpass

Highlight • Bridge

The photo with the barriered railway crossing is of historical value because, as can be seen in another photo, the railway crossing has been replaced by the underpass.

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.

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.

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.

February 9, 2022,Ginsheim - Riedstadt

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. 😅

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 beautiful sunshine, but unfortunately with a somewhat intrusive wind, we cycled along the dike and through the fields. We stopped at the Fischmaster for some delicious fried fish.

Finally well over 20 degrees, but noticeable wind on the open plain. Stop at the Fischmaster, Hessenaue, and eat delicious fried fish.
