On the Wutach riverbank in Lauchringen, I ride very close to the water, enjoying the quiet, green surroundings. The section feels pleasantly connected to nature and invites you to slow down for a moment – a beautiful moment right on the Wutach.

At the Wutach waterfall with the small bridge, it's worth stopping for a moment to soak in the special atmosphere. The water, the natural surroundings, and the crossing over the Wutach make this spot a beautiful highlight on the tour – calm, fresh, and truly worth seeing.

Along the Wutach, nature shows itself from its calm and original side. I'm riding here through a particularly beautiful section with water, bank vegetation and small views – a place where you don't just ride the tour, but can really enjoy it.

The riverside promenade on the Rhine in Waldshut is worthwhile for a relaxed stop with a mountain bike. I like to take a short break from the pace here because you can roll along nicely right by the water and enjoy the view of the Rhine. The proximity to the old town makes the section particularly pleasant – perfect for a short break on the go.
