While the route descriptions were accurate at the time of writing, things do change. Washouts from mountain streams can occur between Disentis/Mustér and Ilanz (Stage 1), sometimes requiring substantial deviations. On the Higher Rhine north of Karlsruhe (Stage 13) and between Worms and Oppenheim (Stage 15) and on the Lower Rhine between Duisburg and Millingen aan de Rijn (stages 22 and 23), major works to create holding polders for flood water, to open up areas for sand and gravel extraction or to raise flood dykes have resulted in alterations to the route. Such works are expected to continue with other, as yet unknown, deviations in the future. Watch out for signs (often only in local languages) showing such alterations.

Some alternative routes exist. Where these offer a reasonable variant (for instance are shorter, scenically superior or have a better surface) they are mentioned in the text and shown in blue on the maps.
