Rhine Cycle Path Wallbach–Bad Säckingen

The Rhine Cycle Path between Wallbach and Bad Säckingen offers cyclists a scenic and leisurely ride along one of Europe’s most iconic rivers. Starting in Wallbach, a Swiss village in the canton of Aargau, the route follows the northern bank of the Rhine, passing through tranquil riverside landscapes and offering frequent glimpses of the waterway’s natural beauty. The path is mostly flat and well-maintained, making it suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities, whether you’re out for a family outing or a solo adventure.

One of the highlights of this section is the approach to Bad Säckingen, just across the border in Germany. Here, riders can cross the historic wooden covered bridge—the longest of its kind in Europe—which connects Switzerland and Germany and offers panoramic views of the river and the picturesque townscape. In Bad Säckingen, cyclists can explore the charming old town, visit the impressive cathedral, or relax at one of the many riverside cafés.

There are no admission fees or set opening hours for the cycle path, and it is accessible year-round, though spring and summer offer the most pleasant conditions. The route is part of the larger Rheinradweg, a long-distance cycling network that traces the Rhine from its source in the Swiss Alps to the North Sea. For those seeking a gentle ride with cultural and natural highlights, the Wallbach–Bad Säckingen stretch is an inviting choice.
