    Good transition to France because not quite as frequented as the barrage. From here it is fast times to Seltz (for shopping ;-)) or in the other direction to Drusenheim on the ferry. Unfortunately not like now in winter. In summer, this is the top.

      The old railway bridge that is now a car bridge is cool. The tracks are still there, so be careful with road bike tires. Touring bikes or MTB are not critical and you can enjoy the view while driving.

        In a northerly direction leads the beautiful bike path on the French side of the Rhine, which can be easily reached after crossing the Rhine on the Winterdorfer bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left for 50 m. Badly visible.

          One of the rare bridges over the Rhine, also allowed for cyclists. Little traffic during our visit.

            ... my way leads 99% to Alsace; either by ferry Drusus or via the Wintersdorf bridge. Occasionally with the ferry Seltz-Plittersdorf. However, depending on the waiting times are long, when the ferry has just filed in front of the "nose".

              Good crossing over the Rhine at Rastatt. By bike you can translate well here (of course, with the laid rails to watch). As a big group (which we were) is not so cool afterwards (direction Rastatt).

                On the German side there is a sign saying that bicycles are not allowed to cross! Shortly thereafter a bicycle sign with the inscription "Beinheim F" 1km. So I drove over the bridge. The French motorists apparently didn't like that. All passed very closely and 1 honked.
                So to sum up, drive quickly over the bridge :-)

                  The tracks are still there. It is therefore very important to be careful with thin tires. You can also relax and enjoy the view from the bridge with a touring or MT bike.

                  The traffic volume is very different. Sunday morning is the best time to take photos. During the week, especially during rush hour, stopping on the bridge is difficult.

                    The old railway bridge is a bottleneck for cyclists. We ask motorists to be considerate when overtaking.

                      In addition to the ferry, the only crossing to France that is suitable for bicycles is near Rastatt.

                        The view from the bridge is particularly beautiful. Be careful when stopping, cars can hardly avoid it.

                          Former railway bridge now open to cars/bikes. Rails are still available, so be careful when driving on narrow tires. A bit narrow especially when cars overtake, otherwise ideal trail for border crossing.

                              The Rheinbrücke Wintersdorf is a former railway bridge used by road traffic, which spans the Rhine between the Rastatt district of Wintersdorf and Beinheim and the border between Germany and France.
                              The building is located at Rheinkilometer 335.7 and transferred with two lanes the country road 78b and the departmental road 87th Until 1999, it was also part of the railway line Rastatt-Rœschwoog.
                              The bridge is located on Iffezheimer district, but is named after the nearby village Wintersdorf. In France, it is called "Pont de Beinheim" Wikipedia

                                Old bridge, rusty, but it looks good again

                                  Often stronger driving, the bridge still offers a beautiful view of the Rhine.

                                    The bridge crosses the Rhine and in the middle is the border between Germany and France. Unfortunately it's a bit tight.

                                      Unfortunately, a quite dangerous border crossing, once you have made it, nothing stands in the way of the tour in France 💪🫵

                                            An old iron bridge that connects us to our French neighbors.

                                              Beautiful old bridge.
                                              Since there aren't many crossings over the Rhine into France, this is our preferred crossing point into France.
