143. Europe Bicycle Trip--Hopping Between Switzerland and Germany

As I cycled on today along the Rhine, I would be going from Switzerland into Germany and back again several times as the Rhine flows along near the border of both countries.

A very good SCHOOL marking on the road

I found myself on the wrong side of the river after viewing Rhine Falls. I stopped and talked to this lady and she tried to tell me how to get back to the other side by a little walking bridge.

I got totally lost trying to find it and did ask this postal person for some directions. (photo will not turn)

Finally I found a path going dow.n to the river

The bridge over to the German side

A canoe passing by on one side of the bridge

View from the other side of the bridge

As you can see from the houses on the other bank, I had a STEEP climb after crossing the bridge.

Now I was back i9n Germany.

I had a big drink and a rest at the closed customs building which is no longer used.

As I cycled on, in the distance past the hills, I could just barely see the form of the mountains of Switzerland .

A very nice bicycle path

A little chapel by the woods

Lottstetten-a small town

I started my trip during tulip time. Now it is June and the roses are beautiful everywhere.
