View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cycle path runs for miles, often directly along the Rhine, so you have a constant view of the river. Unfortunately, it's not clear what makes the spot marked here a highlight.

View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The D426 is a great way to cross the Rhine and thus the border.
The road surface is somewhat rough, and there's relatively heavy traffic.
