Youth-Hostel tour along the river Rhine for families

Cycling: Rhine-Route for families

Ruinalta gorge, Lake Constance, Rhinefall

The Rhine Route spans the east of Switzerland in a wide arc. Your tour begins in the Rhaetian capital of Chur. The Rhine valley is a windy place, but as soon as you've passed the vineyards of Maienfeld, you cycle on the Rhine dam towards the vast Lake Constance, where orchards, castles and cheerful tourist chatter adorn the shores of the green and silver shimmering "Swabian sea".
