The Rhine Cycle Route in Switzerland

For cyclists, inline skaters, walkers, and runner, the Rhine Trail in Switzerland affords some quite magnificent scenery of the Alps, the Rhine Valley, and many small villages of the region. Beginning in the headwaters of the River Rhine in the Swiss Alps, the trail winds its way along the borders of Austria and Liechtenstein, the shores of Lake Constance, and down to Basel. The entire length of the trail, in fact, is over 1,300 km and includes four countries before ending in the Netherlands.

The photograph above was taken on a mild day in June near Sennwald; a smattering of snow still in evidence on the Alpine peaks.
