Tips from the Community

Me Li 🇨🇭
June 26, 2026, Reuss Foot and Cycle Bridge near Mellingen

I also recommend this footbridge for a hassle-free crossing of the Reuss. It is gladly used by hikers as well as cyclists and joggers. Very beautiful view from the footbridge onto the Reuss and good connection to the many trails nearby. I particularly like the trail along the Reuss downstream on the right bank.

The bridge was built in two parts, one for motor vehicles, and the narrower one for pedestrians and hikers. It is very generously built, so that three bicycles can meet at the same level at the same time. From the bridge, a wonderful view of the Aare river and the renaturalized riverbank area.

A simple riverside path easy to ride, without obstacles. The landscape here is also beautiful.

Beautiful viewpoint overlooking Laufenburg and the Rhine. After the climb, a short break is worthwhile to enjoy the view of the old town and the river valley. In clear weather, the view extends far beyond the surroundings.
