Rhine Cycle Path near Wesel

Highlight • Cycleway

Directly on the Rhine with a great view around the bend, currently quite good asphalt on this section, often very busy on beautiful weekends, even at night you should pay attention to pedestrians in dark clothing often with dogs, the bollards towards the Rhine at the Wacht am Rhein are a nasty trap when wet.
CORRECTION 11/22: Increasingly worse asphalt 🤢, currently only recommended for fast riding with good knowledge of the holes and breaks. Partly longitudinal breaks, tree root bulges up to 5 cm high, which you don't see in the dark, and giant holes. As often, half-hearted attempts to level some of the bulges with a milling machine, as is usual in Germany, mostly only in some places and poorly done 🙄. Cycle path construction is not a discipline in which Germany shines in any way.
Correction 2026 let's see what the new surface, which was built, is like

Bridge at the mouth of the Lippe on the Rhine

Highlight • River

Seen from above, the area between Lippeschlösschen and the Rhine Bridge looks like a lake landscape - and everything is in flux. The lip can develop properly again, the tight corset, created by human hands over 30 years ago, is a thing of the past.
