Rhine Promenade, Basel

Highlight • River

The Rhine promenade is a great place to walk. There are always beautiful views of the river and the opposite bank.

In the morning, this is a lovely view as part of a quiet run. If you like to take a more laid-back people-watching jog, it starts to fill with people by late morning, particularly in the summer.

Birsfelden Lock

Highlight • Structure

The lock Birsfelden and the adjacent power plant island offer a nice detour for the round. If you catch a good moment, you can watch a ship sling.

Birskopfsteg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful running route along the Rhine incl. Birskopfsteg. Unfortunately, both sides of the Birschöpfli are very heavily polluted in summer ...
