Thur Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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.

This route is on excellent smooth pavement with little traffic, except during the rush hour. There are not many fountains nor places for eating on this stretch. The village of Flaach does offer 1 or 2 good restaurants as well a bicycle shop in the village.

Rhine Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Rhine Falls are an impressive natural spectacle, especially after the snowmelt. At 150 meters wide and 23 meters high, they are the largest waterfalls in Europe. In summer, up to 600,000 liters of water per second cascade down the falls. They are estimated to be approximately 15,000 years old.

Access to the northern bank is free. On the southern bank, admission costs 5 Swiss francs (including entry to Laufen Castle and access to the viewing platforms).
