Thankfully there's the bridge. Swimming – especially with a bike on your back – wouldn't be an option.

Most people probably just drive past it. It's worth turning off the Alb cycle path towards the Pioneer Harbor/Rhine. A real insider tip - the magic forest and the Pioneer Harbor!

The water training area of the Wehrmacht's 35th Pioneer Battalion is now often used for launching boats and jet skis. The pioneer harbor has 2 launching ramps. On the north side, there are also some seating areas that invite you to take a short break. https://www.komoot.de/tour/1475477622?ref=avs&share_token=aoC125jL9tPFR9WxtZLLeoBtydg1TgpLuATn2GzkqXNe1J69wW
