OSM Birthday Party on August 11 at Badi Rheinau

The plan for August 11 is becoming more concrete: We will meet at Aquarina 4 in Rheinau. In the Badi for cooling off. I hope for good weather.

My idea is to do some mapping on the way there, like a star hike: Each person or small groups will walk the last few kilometers, mapping as they go.

Arrival between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, birthday cake around 4:00 PM.

Here are two suggestions for hikes:

Hike A

Very beautiful!

Rüedlinge → Rheinau Time: 2-3 hours

Route:

  • Start at the Flaach/Rüdlingen bridge (newly built, needs to be updated in OSM), bus: Flaach, Ziegelhütte
  • Follow the west side upstream along the Rhine
  • At Ellikon am Rhein, take the ferry across the river
  • Possible stop at Rhygarte Node 356692523 (not Restaurant Schiff, same building at the front side)
  • Follow the east side upstream along the Rhine to the lower auxiliary weir Way 39763717

Hike B

Also beautiful, with the Rhine Falls.

Rheinfall → Rheinau Time: 2 hours

Route:

  • Start on the Zurich (south/east) side of the Rhine Falls, train: Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall
  • Follow the east side downstream along the Rhine to the main weir in Rheinau

Many thanks to Loremo for helping with the planning and the hike suggestions!

Please share your route on the wiki or forum so not everyone maps the same area.
