On this well-paved, low-traffic road you get from Altenburg down to the Rhine. Over the Rhine bridge you get to beautiful Rheinau, which is located in the middle of a loop of the Rhine, and thus to Switzerland. If you go straight instead, you will get to Jestetten.

This short incline is an average of 5% on a nice smooth asphalted pavement. It is a bit narrow when approaching the covered bridge to Rheinau.

The border crossing into Switzerland leads over a historic wooden bridge worth seeing.
