It's not only worthwhile for cyclists commuting from Lörrach to Basel, but also for tours to or from Wiesental on the Rhine and beyond. Truly beautiful, green, and bike-friendly!

Three-Country Bridge (Passerelle des Trois Pays)

Highlight • Bridge

The three-country bridge (French Passerelle des Trois Pays), still called the Passerelle over the Rhine in the planning and construction phase, is the longest arched bridge for cyclists and pedestrians in the world. It connects the German city of Weil am Rhein in southern Baden and the French Huningue in Alsace. The name is derived from the border triangle Germany-France-Switzerland, which is less than 200 meters from the bridge. A Franco-German state treaty was specially signed before the bridge was built.

"This easy and level tour leads through three countries and along the Rhine through Basel. After starting in Lörrach, it goes through Riehen to the Birsfelden power station, where the Rhine is crossed and there is a beautiful view of Basel's old town.
