Trail Reviews

Iris und Martin 🇨🇭
July 19, 2021, Rundfahrt durch die Rheinfall Region Teil 2

The cycle path leads from Laufen Castle on the little-traveled road to Dachsen. The village has beautiful houses. From here it is less interesting, a lot of landscape, you can't see the Rhine because the bank is wooded. Once you have passed the arch, you can see the monastery Insel Rheinau from afar. It's just beautiful here and quiet. Unfortunately the church is closed, it should be beautiful. After a short detour to the church on the hill, it goes down the mountain and over the wooden bridge on German soil. On this side it goes up again, we drive on the road is little going on. We quickly leave the village of Altenburg behind us and soon come back down to the Rhine in Nohl. We only look briefly past the Nohl bridge, then it's obsolete again on the little road towards Neuhausen and the Rhine Falls, this time seen from the Schaffhausen side. We make the journey to Schaffhausen quickly, black clouds are gathering in the sky.
