Rhine Bend at Rheinau

Highlight (Segment) • River

Shortly after its confluence with the Thur, the Rhine forms a magnificent loop in the middle of nature. The river is never as beautiful as when it undulates through the landscapes.

An anecdote about the Elliker Bridge: During the Second World War, the bridges near the border were charged with explosive charges. Fortunately, there was no need to actually trigger them. However, the Elliker bridge flew into the air because the explosive charge was struck by lightning shortly after the end of the war.

August 10, 2024,von Rheinau bis nach Flach und eine Abkühlung im Rhein

Today we didn't do a loop but a round trip followed by a swim in the Rhine. We drove to the campsite in Flaach. On the way there we had already looked for a suitable place to swim. The cooling down felt good and luckily the drive back to the car was only short.
