Rhine riverside path

Highlight • Bridge

Nice to ride bike path right on the Rhine, but very busy in sunny weather. If you want a bit more relaxed and sporty you can alternatively drive on the R3a through the vineyards.

Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

Unfortunately, it didn't record the return trip. It was 42 km in total. We made a stop in each town.

Beautiful bike path, most of it along the Rhine. The route runs mainly in sunny sections, so in summer it is not for people who are sensitive to the sun. If you can't make it to Rüdesheim, there are several beer gardens and restaurants along the way.
