Really nice route for bicycles from Zell to Todtnau along the Wiese river. It used to be an old train railway route. Many beautiful places near the forest on the way and an old train tunnel

A few months ago, I came across the cycle path "In the Footsteps of the Todtnauerli" here on Komoot. From 1889 to 1967, a narrow-gauge railway 🚂 ran through the Wiesental valley from Zell to Todtnau, affectionately known by the locals as the Todtnauerli.
As a railway fan 😍, it was clear we would cycle this route at some point. …

A second ride that day to rack up a few more kilometers.
The idea of doing a round trip to Gresgen gave way to the option of taking the Todtnauerliweg to Todtnau—a route I haven't ridden in a while (apart from the road option).

A comfortable ride that you can always ride. However, where I accumulated the many meters of altitude on this route is a mystery to me 🤣🤣🤣
