August 16, 2022,Zitadelle Neuf-Brisach und Breisach am Rhein
Because it was so nice, a short round to the citadel Neuf-Brisach and again to Breisach am Rhein

Komoot stopped in Biesheim. The tour continued along the Colmar Canal through Kunheim to the lock. Here I cycle back along the Rhone-Rhin Canal to Neuf Brisach. Here I noticed that the recording had stopped. Since I know my way around here so well, I don't check my phone that often.

Leisurely bike ride in the autumn sun to the Neuf-Brisach star fortress

Showing Translation

To enjoy the last rays of sunshine, we spontaneously decided to take a trip to the Rhine.

Our starting point was the train station in Titisee, where we started in freezing temperatures. The train ride took us relaxed through the Höllental, past Freiburg to Breisach am Rhein.
