Look forward to this unique round trip and enjoy two overnight stays at winerys, three wine‐tastings and varied bike trails through four wine growing areas in the heart of Germany.
Starting in Rüdesheim you ride through the Nahe ‐ valley. Enjoy the marvelous wine ‐ landscape that impress with wineyards, while cycling on the well‐built bike trails. Get excited about the wine area Rheinhessen with its great german Riesling. You will have a wonderful day with a boatride at the romantic middle rhine (UNESCO world cultural heritage). The well‐known wineyards of Kaub, Bacharach and the Loreley rock will astonish you. All in all this biketour is a travel full of scenic and culinaric surprises.
On this altogether hilly tour you cycle on the one hand on the Rhine cycle path and the Nahe cycle path, otherwise often in the middle of the vineyards partly on separate cycle paths, partly also on the typical small asphalt roads and farm roads, which are only for the vehicles of the winegrowers (and cyclists). In the vineyards are two short bumpy sliding distances as well as individual non-asphalted passages.
Individual arrival. Arrive early, because Rüdesheim has much to offer. Take a varied ride on the chairlift to Niederwalddenkmal with stunning views of the vineyards of the Rheingau, stroll through the famous Drosselgasse and visit the wine shop "RheinWeinWelt" which is unique in Germany. Here you can taste the wines of more than 70 winegrowers in a historic building in a listed building. So you are perfectly tuned to your bike and wine journey.
After a short ferry ride across the Rhine, you reach Bingen. Cycle along the Nahe cycle path to Bad Kreuznach, where Europe’s largest open-air inhalatorium with graduation towers and healing springs invites you to marvel. The route continues through the romantic Nahe valley, past spectacular rock formations and the impressive steep face of Rotenfels. In Schloßböckelheim you have the opportunity to visit a winegrower.
Today you cycle through the Alsenztal valley and follow a beautiful cycle path, albeit with a few climbs, into the Appelbachtal valley. This takes you into the wine-growing region of Rheinhessen, where vast vineyards attract your attention. Look forward to Neu-Bamberg with its medieval atmosphere and typical wine villages such as Wöllstein and Flonheim. Here you can stay overnight directly with the winegrower and enjoy a wine tasting in the evening.
In the morning, you cycle into the vineyards and enjoy the breathtaking views before taking a break in the old town centre of Alzey. Along the way, you will pass the wine villages of Gau-Odernheim, Hillesheim and Wintersheim. Via the Rheinterrassen cycle path, you reach Oppenheim with the German Wine Museum. Your destination is Nierstein, the largest wine-growing community on the Rhine, where a wine tasting awaits you in the evening.
Wine on the left, the Rhine on the right: in the morning, you cycle the first flat kilometres to the old town of Mainz. Admire the Romanesque cathedral, the electoral palace and the Gutenberg Museum - highlights of this lively city, which is known as the wine capital with many wine bars and wine shops. After a break, continue along the Rhine Cycle Route into the Rheingau. Winding paths through the vineyards lead you to the wine, sparkling wine and rose town of Eltville. Enjoy the Rhine riverside promenade, the rose garden and the Electoral Castle before a wine tasting awaits you at the hotel in the evening.
Today you cycle through the vineyards of the Rheingau and discover highlights such as Kiedrich with its historic St Valentinus Church and the oldest playable organ in Germany. Visit Eberbach Abbey with its abbey museum, the Riesling vineyard Schloss Vollrads and Schloss Johannisberg. From Rüdesheim, we recommend a 12-kilometre round trip through the vineyards to Assmannshausen and back along the Rhine.
Enjoy a romantic Rhine boat trip from Rüdesheim to the Loreley and admire the UNESCO World Heritage Site from the sun deck. From St. Goar, you cycle leisurely along the Rhine Cycle Path back to Rüdesheim, past vineyards and picturesque villages. Along the way, Oberwesel with its town wall and Bacharach with its half-timbered houses are well worth a visit.
