PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION

This edition has been substantially revised to incorporate new maps and a number of re-routings, mostly to make use of cycle tracks along recently opened stretches of flood dyke, particularly from Sennwald to Au (Stage 4), Hamm to Oppenheim (Stage 15) and Orsoy to Ossenberg (Stage 22). Other changes reflect recognition by the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) of the Rhine Cycle Route as EuroVèlo route EV15 and re-signposting through France to accommodate this. The opening of a TGV (high-speed) rail line between Dijon and Mulhouse has made Switzerland accessible from Paris in just three hours. This has improved access from the UK by making it possible to reach Andermatt in the Swiss Alps in one day by train from London. The list of tourist information offices has been extended to include all offices encountered including those with seasonal opening periods and limited hours.
