Join us on the 10th stage of the Via Rhenana from Rheinfelden to Basel (https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-60/stage-10)! The hike involves a certain length, but it's technically easy. It will end at the famous Christmas Market of Basel (https://www.bs.ch/pd/marketing/messenundmaerkte/weihnachtsmarkt). So bring your Christmas cup along for the Glühwein!

According to SRF Meteo there is an increasing chance for rain towards the afternoon. However, we'll hopefully be in Basel before the rain starts. Make sure to have rain protection. If the weather forecast changes to the worse, I might cancel the hike.
