EuroVelo 15 Karlsruhe-Lk Constance | North Sea to Adriatic Cycle Tour - Ep 4 France and Switzerland

Continuing our cycle journey up the River Rhine on EV 15 entering the Alsace region of France. We have a rest day in the beautiful city of Strasbourg before continuing along the relaxing Rhon au Rhin canal path towards the Swiss city of Basel. We meet up with some friends and ride together through pretty Swiss towns, and by the Rhine Falls ending up on the north shore of Untersee (the smaller of the two lakes that make up Lake Constance). Note that from just north of Basel, EV 15 overlaps with EV 6 as far as Lake Constance. Useful Resources: For EuroVelo 15 we used the Cicerone book "The Rhine Cycle Route" by Mike Wells and found it very useful. It has detailed maps and interesting background information too. The maps were particularly useful when the trail signage wasn't enough. I have used some of these maps in this video series. In addition, for EuroVelo 6 we used "EuroVelo 6 (Basel - Budapest) 7 maps 1:100 000 (English, French and German Edition)", a set of very useful maps that show points of interest and campgrounds. Available online Amazon and other book stores. The official EuroVelo website is another handy resource of course, and for those using GPS navigation, it provides gpx files for the various routes. https://en.eurovelo.com/#routes-and-c... For navigation, we did not use any high-tech GPS systems, relying instead on route signage, the book "The Rhine Cycle Route" (Kindle version) and a useful free overview map of EV 15 that I picked up in a tourist office. For other route-finding to campgrounds, grocery shops, etc, we used the Maps.Me phone application which you can use offline. We did not have local phone sim cards so our use of Google maps and other online resources was limited to when we had wifi access at campgrounds, grocery shops and restaurants. 0:00 Intro and overview map 2:23 Cycling resumes Day 18 Karlsruhe 4:57 Entering France 7:04 Day 19 Alsace countryside, quiet villages 10:08 Strasbourg, rest day in the city 13:48 Leaving Strasbourg, canal path Rhone au Rhin 19:59 Neuf Brisach to Basel, Switzerland, lucky stork encounter 26:40 Riding with friends, Rheinfelden, Waldshut-Tiengen 31:20 Rhine Falls, Schaffhausen 35:23 Day 24 Schaffhausen to Untersee (Lake Constance) via Stein am Rhein Music from YouTube Audio Library and Epidemic Sound
