After yesterday's 110 km in the heat, it will be significantly less today. After a hearty breakfast we set off around ten o'clock. The route is more than simple: always along the Rhine! Today on the German side. Unfortunately, you notice that from time to time on the cycle path, Germany still has some catching up to do here. But …

June 27, 2024,7. Etappe: Von Basel nach Waldshut

Today's 7th stage of our cycling trip took us to Waldshut along the Upper Rhine.

Fortunately, we soon left the hectic morning madness of Basel's bicycle commuters behind us.

The route took us sometimes directly along the picturesque Upper Rhine, sometimes a little off the beaten track, then with one or two short, steep climbs.

June 12, 2023,De Bâle à Waldshut Tiguen - jour 10

Today I left Basel along the Rhine. I branched off from EV15 to EV6 and sometimes I completely lost my way, finding myself either on impassable paths or heavily trafficked roads. All in all it was very very nice with a lot of path in the forest. Not always practical for riding but it protects from the sun and the …
