Tips from the Community

Daniel Vogelbacher
May 17, 2026, Old Wooden Covered Bridge over the Steina

At the Wutach waterfall with the small bridge, it's worth stopping for a moment to soak in the special atmosphere. The water, the natural surroundings, and the crossing over the Wutach make this spot a beautiful highlight on the tour – calm, fresh, and truly worth seeing.

On the Wutachuferweg, I ride nicely close to the water, enjoying the quiet, nature-close course of the route. The splashing of the Wutach, the green surroundings, and the relaxed path guidance make this section a really pleasant part of the tour.

Along the Wutach, nature shows itself from its calm and original side. I'm riding here through a particularly beautiful section with water, bank vegetation and small views – a place where you don't just ride the tour, but can really enjoy it.

On the Wutach-Uferweg near Lauchringen, I ride right along the water and enjoy the quiet, nature-oriented section. The path is pleasant to ride and repeatedly offers beautiful views of the Wutach – perfect for briefly taking the pace down on the tour and taking in the scenery.

With a mountain bike, a short stop here by the water is worthwhile. The many water birds seem to be right at home here and give the section a calm, natural atmosphere. I stopped briefly, observed the animals, and enjoyed the moment on the bank – a beautiful natural spot on the tour.

With a mountain bike, a short stop at the confluence of the Surb into the Aare is worthwhile here. I found it beautiful to see how the small river flows into the Aare and how the landscape thus gets a calm, natural atmosphere. A pleasant place to dismount briefly, let your gaze wander over the water, and consciously enjoy the tour.

With a mountain bike, the Rhine in the Südschwarzwald Nature Park is a wonderful companion on the tour. I found the combination of quiet riverbank, nature, and Black Forest landscape particularly pleasant. It's worth rolling a little slower here, letting your gaze wander over the Rhine, and taking in the relaxed atmosphere.

With a mountain bike, the inn "Zum Wilden Mann" in Waldshut is a nice spot for a stop or a short break. I found it pleasant to dismount briefly after cycling through the old town or along the Rhine and soak up the special atmosphere. Ideal for a leisurely interruption of the tour and to gather new energy.
