One of my favorite routes, quiet, rarely anyone around, the path mostly close to the Rhine riverbank, many bunkers from WWII. A beautiful riverside path to enjoy. There are also bunkers with viewing platforms, the remains of a Roman defensive castle.

On the riverside path between Koblenz and Bad Zurzach, there are some bunkers from the 2nd World War. Only a few have been slightly converted, like this one here, and allow us to enjoy a beautiful view of the Rhine from the platform. Slow down a bit as the path around the bunker is a bit confusing and many hikers are encountered here.

On the banks of the Wutach in Lauchringen, I ride very close to the water, enjoying the quiet, green surroundings. The section feels pleasantly connected to nature and invites you to slow down for a moment – a beautiful moment right on the Wutach.
