The riverside promenade on the Rhine in Waldshut is worthwhile for a relaxed stop with a mountain bike. I like to take a short break from the pace here because you can roll along nicely right by the water and enjoy the view of the Rhine. The proximity to the old town makes the section particularly pleasant – perfect for a short break on the go.
