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.
