A place a little far from Basel. An option I had initially rejected, but I inadvertently chose it because when I booked the first, Airbnb decided to check my identity... And it didn’t work (photo of the CNI, then downloading the app because the photo was not usable, then unable to connect probably because of a problem with the airbnb server...), it took me time and so when I reopened the page I forgot to check again the location...

So from Basel it was 100 km (and some), a little too much considering the weather conditions and the fact that it is constantly rising. So I ended up taking a train ticket to go out from Basel. I can’t get the bike ticket on the internet so I go to the station. A very nice employee accompanied me to the machine asked me to specify if my destination was Rheinfelden or Rheinfelden (Baden) (in Germany) and finally I got my two tickets.
In Basel or Rheinfeld, where I went down, ramps for bicycles, chairs or strollers are everywhere. We wonder what the SNCF is waiting for to do the same. She’s in the process of upgrading her stations, but I haven’t seen anything like it.

Une accessibilité réelle

Starting the track in the cold. I only have mittens and I tell myself that if it gets worse I can always put a pair of socks on my hands!
The climb is not impressive but regular over 80km.

From time to time the sun shows itself shyly and it gets better right away. But it doesn’t last long....

Fortunately, cafés are open along the way. I stop in one to drink a large coffee and eat an almond croissant. When I come out I put on a second pair of socks ^^ It’s not winter but it’s well imitated.

I move several times from Switzerland to Germany and vice versa. But customs is empty of any occupiers.

Jestetten is on the road to Schaffhausen a very touristic place (where I will pass tomorrow) is that why such beautiful cycle paths are built in the countryside?

I arrive early enough again, very happy to arrive in a warm and sheltered place from the wind!
