Rhine Hiking – Vineyards – Spring – Swiss-German Border – Virtual Tour – Virtual Hiking
This is an early spring hiking along Rhine river This river is the natural border between Germany and Switzerland in many places. So our route also goes along the border. We start in Egislau – the district of Bülach in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. Eglisau is first mentioned in 892 as several independent farm houses Nowadays this is pretty nice small city with plenty of historical buildings It is located at the crossing of two major transport routes. The location along both sides of the Rhine river allowed it to dominate ship traffic. It was also the site of a bridge which made the north–south road between the Klettgau and the Zürichgau. This important location led to it becoming a market town. Along the way there are plenty of Vineyards The Rhine is one of the major European rivers. The river begins in the Swiss canton of Graubünden in the southeastern Swiss Alps. It forms part of the Swiss-Liechtenstein, Swiss-Austrian, and Swiss-German borders. After that the Rhine defines much of the Franco-German border, after which it flows in a mostly northerly direction through the German Rhineland. It drains an area of 9,973 km2 and its name derives from the Celtic Rēnos. Depending on the weather and place the Rhine waters may have different colours, from muddy-green to crystal blue. Rüdlingen is a municipality in the canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland. It is another small town on the Rhine banks with a long history as it was first mentioned in 827 as Ruodiningun. Early spring and we have some first flowers blooming Vineyards There was an organised rest place on the way, with an area to see frogs. Unfortunately it was closed. I would probably not see anything as it is still too cold fore the frogs The route get’s back to the Rhine banks. Germany is on the other side of the river By the end of our hike the sky cleared out and we could enjoy the nice and warm spring sun and blue sky This was pretty easy and very nice hiking Thanks for watching, don’t forget to like and subscribe and see you the next time
