Tourist attractions: In Küssaberg, you cannot miss Beuggen Castle - this impressive building dates back to the 12th century and has been lovingly restored. The ruins of Hauenstein Castle are also worth a visit: from here you have a fantastic view over the Rhine.

Waldshut, on the other hand, impresses with its historic old town with numerous half-timbered houses as well as the town church of St. Johann, a beautiful example of baroque architecture.

Cultural highlights and events: If you are interested in art, you should definitely visit the art museum in Waldshut - exciting exhibitions are shown here regularly. In summer there is also the "Stadt- & Straßenfest" (town & street festival), where there is plenty of music, food and drink.

    Wir sind die Tour am Samstag bei schönstem Frühlingswetter gefahren. Mit unseren E-Bikes haben wir ca. 1 1/2 Stunden für die Strecke gebraucht. Geparkt haben wir in Kadelburg am Bergfriedhof und sind die Route andersrum als angegeben gefahren. Zuerst geht es sehr gemächlich auf Radwegen am Rhein entlang. Immer wieder gibt es tolle Rastbänke die zum Verweilen einladen. Der kurze knackige Anstieg bei Lienheim ist sehr gut zu bewältigen. Immer wieder hat man tolle Blicke auf die Küssaburg und den Hochrhein. Der Abstecher hoch zur Burg ist ein MUSS.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung, die nur zu empfehlen ist. Oberhalb von Lienheim wird man mit wunderbarer Aussicht auf das Rheintal belohnt. Auf den idyllischen Pfaden direkt am Rhein lockt so manche Stelle zum Rasten oder Baden.

    Abwechslungsreich, mal Wald, mal am Wasser, und der traumhafte Blick von der Küssaburg. Der Aufstieg zur Küssaburg ist schon anspruchsvoll.

    Zunächst empfehle ich allen den Weg genau anders herum zu laufen, so ist der phantastische Ausblick auch in Lauf Richtung. Der Flug Lärm könnte störend sein und an der Rhein Seite hat mich der Auto Verkehr auf der Ch Seite genervt. Humane an und Abstiege, ansonsten wirklich empfehlends wert, da nicht überlaufen
