On this almost 250 km long long-distance cycle route, we follow the course of the Rhine from the Austrian-Swiss border almost to the French border in Basel. 

This route passes through an inaccessible area and is therefore closed. Current information

This cycle route is part of the trans-European Rhine Cycle Route, which runs through the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. As one of nine stages, we cycle this route from Germany almost all the way to France. Through a scenically unique region, this long-distance cycle route first goes along the shores of Lake Constance on steadily descending paths and then follows the course of the Rhine on little-used side roads and cycle paths all the way to Basel.
