A very beautiful cycling route along the Rhine. A gravel path that's easy to ride in any weather. A bit monotonous, with little variation on either side.

A particularly quiet route. The Rhine is on the left and the forest is on the right. It's a great place to take a break.

The square has been renovated in recent years and currently houses the small Christmas market. But at least it has an ice rink.
