To Aarburg

Some kilometers after I started there was a nice ascent to Fürstenberg with a mice view over the Danube valley. The way down was less steep, so I was able to cycle with a good speed. Btw the highest speed was 65 km/h today.
Then I crossed the steam line Sauschwänzlebahn (Pig Tail Railroad) multiple times.Fützen Viaduct
As yesterday temperatures were pretty high speed again (37 degrees Celsius according my bicycle computer) , I had to drink am awful lot of water. In Switzerland they serve nice cooled water directly near the cycle path.Fountains in Bad Zurzach
Between Lauchringen and Kadelburg Komoot routed me over a mountain bike path with a steep ascent on a gravel. That might have been shorter, but surely it took a lot more time and Energy. I crossed the Rhine an the Swiss border in Bad Zurzach and had a second avoidable ascent to the Aare Valley. So in future cross the Rhine in Koblenz; this leads directly to the Aare.
At the end of the day I found a campsite in Aarburg with an impressive Fortess.Aarburg Castle
Today I cycled 116 km.
