August 20, 2021,Auf dem Rottenweg von Niederwald nach Reckingen 🇨🇭

A nice, easy tour always along the Rotten (Rhône) through the Obergoms. The path has a high proportion of shade so also something for the summer. Before Biel (approx. Half way) you can take a short break from fish farming and then enjoy the way back with the Matterhorn-Gotthard Bahn as we did. 😁
