Rhine Cycle Path from Linkenheim Rhine Meadows to Rott Island

Very nice navigable Rhine bank. An avenue which starts from the island of Rott forms the Rheinufer-Radweg, which can be followed upstream by ferryboat rides. :)

A lovely walk through the countryside and along the water. The Rhine promenade was quite busy, but after the first turn, it all died down and we were able to enjoy the beautiful landscape, lakes, light beech forests, and old Rhine branches.

We especially enjoyed the Old Rhine near the old ferry 🤩.
