Rhein Cycle Expressway Am Damm

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a really great cycle path. You can decide whether you want to drive asphalted or on the dam a grass-gravel road.

Cycle expressway

Highlight • Cycleway

Fast ride down, for gravel and with a better view up on the dam. Depending on the wind and direction, great fun.

Kornsand Rhine Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

Good way to cross the Rhine, on both sides there is also a place to stop to shorten the waiting time, but the ferry also runs every 20 minutes. ;)
The ride costs €2.50 by bike
