Beautiful viewpoint overlooking Laufenburg and the Rhine. After the climb, a short break is worthwhile to enjoy the view of the old town and the river valley. In clear weather, the view extends far beyond the surroundings.

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 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.

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.
