Bad Säckingen - Lörrach - Weil am Rhein Cycle Route

A smooth link across southwest Germany, this route connects Bad Säckingen, Lörrach, and Weil am Rhein along the Upper Rhine and the edge of the Black Forest. Expect mostly paved riding with a few gravel bits, plenty on bike tracks and quiet roads, and the odd short stretch on busier streets. It’s friendly for everyday riders and tourers; wider tires make the gravel sections easy. Highlights along the way: riverside sections on the Rhine, the historic old town and covered wooden bridge in Bad Säckingen, lively Lörrach, and the tri-border vibe in Weil am Rhein next to Basel and France (detour-worthy architecture at the Vitra Campus). Generally a gentle profile—riding downstream toward Weil am Rhein feels a touch easier. Handy logistics: train stations in all three towns make flexible start/finish points. Keep an eye out at road crossings and where the route briefly uses main roads. Great for a relaxed day out or a simple point-to-point ride.
