Farm roads as far as the eye can see

Highlight • Cycleway

The wide gravel road meanders through the Goms. The route can now really be traveled from touring bike to mountain bike with every bike. Even with children who have not been cycling for long, the Rhone Route 1 can be done in both directions from Niederwald.

Comments

September 4, 2021,Von Reckingen nach Oberwald der Rotten entlang.

The tour started soon after Reckingen with a flat tire. However, this could be remedied in Geschinen. The cycle path mostly followed alongside the Rotten to Oberwald. Again and again impressive photos of the typical old Valais houses.
We once experienced the Obergoms in late summer. Simply impressive. Tomorrow we go from Reckingen down towards Fiesch
