The day begins on the Bähnle-bike trail,a former railway track, leading through the beautiful Black Forest. An excursion to the wild and romantic Wutach-canyon (8 additional kilometres) is possible along the way. Afterwards, you will cross the railway line of the  Sauschwänzlebahn (“pig’s tail railway”), to find your way to Stühlingen. Marvel at Hohenlupfen castle, the town’s landmark, and visit the monastery’s church. Anyone who wishes to shorten this stage has the option to cycle directly to Stühlingen (about 50km).

Today, you are invited to discover the charm of the southern Black Forest: A trout rearing farm, wide stone fruit plantations and a small schnaps distillery.with souvenir shop. A worthwhile place for a break are the monastery of Marienburg or Wutöschingen by the megalithic tomb. In the afternoon, the bike trail leads to the town Bad Säckingen via Laufenburg. A night guard’s tour in the evening is a must-do in this historical town.

By the riverbank on the northern edge of the town, an archaeologist came to expose a public Roman bath in 1974/75. In 1962, the silver treasure of of Kaiseraugst was discovered by the fort in the course of construction works. It consists of ornated tiles, drinking vessels, silverware and 186 silver coins and medallions. From here, Basel is not far.
