Bad Säckingen Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge, together with the cathedral, remains the landmark of Bad Säckingen.
When I consider that all traffic used to roll over this bridge, albeit in one lane and regulated by traffic lights.
Today it is hard to imagine what it was like.

Laufenburg Old Town and Rhine Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

Coming from the German side, you should definitely go through the old town (despite the cobblestones). A detour over the Rhine bridge to the Swiss side is also recommended. You can easily drive along the Rhine.

The ferry in Waldshut should not necessarily be planned rigidly, as there is neither a timetable nor is it apparent when you can cross - usually you are always on the wrong side!!! 😂
But: The bridge at the Swiss Corner over the Aare and Rhine is not far away and helps to get to the other side of the …

First we were on the EV15 (Eurovelo cycle path) on the German side. We only wanted to go to Laufenburg and back to Bad Säckingen. But instead of the rain that had been forecast, the sun came out at 3 p.m. So after a lunch stop at a Greek restaurant, we extended our tour: Wherever possible, we crossed the border …
