Easy Hiking Trails near Weil am Rhein

24 routes near Weil am Rhein qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 2.1 km and 53 m (174 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 5.9 km.

That is 36 percent of the 67 routes we map near Weil am Rhein. They are shorter than the local average, 2.1 km against 23.7 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 53 m (174 ft) against 532 m (1,745 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.
