Altrhein Fischweier Lake with Fishing Huts

Highlight • Lake

The pond invites especially to take a break. A small hut is available here where you can rest. In the summer a lot of mosquitoes (because Altrheinarm). We have stayed here on longer tours and eaten our food.

Germersheim Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The railway bridge is part of the Bruhrainbahn. The original bridge was inaugurated in 1877 but unfortunately blown up on March 24, 1945 when the Allied Forces approached. Today's bridge was completed in 1967 and put back into operation.

Rußheimer Altrhein

Highlight • River

Through the forest it is on a very bad surface. The small bridges and views of the Old Rhine make up for everything.

Today I drove over the Rhine bridge near Karlsruhe, it was absolutely amazing, the design of the paths for cyclists, at the end before the Alb, was far too narrow, dangerous with oncoming traffic.

A really relaxed route, especially in autumn and spring when it's cooler and not everyone is out and about along the Rhine. However - a small downside - it's better not to make the mistake I did today of trying to cross the K'her town centre on a Saturday, it's better to take a 15 minute detour...
But THE BEST …

After watering the garden, we continued to the ferry to Leimersheim and then via Elisabethenwört to Germersheim. I took a short break at the jetty. After a bar and a few sips of water, we took the Rhine cycle path to Wörth and then back home. Lunch was waiting😄🌤🚴

When the weather is bad, it is advisable to use sheet metal and overshoes, because it can get really wet through the Rußheimer Altrheinschleife.
The Palatinate section of track between the bridges near Germersheim and Maxau is a great speed track, while the Leimersheim loop was due to a temporary construction site.
