Weltweit ein Highlight

On the Rhine Bike Trail from Worms to Koblenz

Hot springs and spas attracted the ancient Romans to the Rhine. Today vineyards and picturesque towns add to the region‘s charm and attract bikers like us. People from all over the world visit the Rhine Valley between Worms and Cologne and admire this manmade landscape as much as Tuscany and the Loire Valley.

1. day  Arriving in Worms

Arrive on time in the ancient imperial town of Worms, famous for the Nibelungen sagas as well as for having hosted Luther and numerous bishops. Today, it is especially worthwhile as a number of winegrowers have settled in the region. (It is possible to arrive by train/parking facilities at the hotel/rental bike at the hotel).

2. day  Worms - Mainz 55 km

On your first stage, the Rhine bike trail leads you into the Rhine-Hessian winegrowing area. The local German winegrowing museum in Oppenheim is a real highlight on this stage. Passing further small towns characterized by their winegrowing culture, you will finally reach Mainz. Not only the Roman-Germanic Central Museum, the Gutenberg-Museum, the Emperor’s Cathedral or the Elector’s Palace are waiting to be discovered.

3. day  Mainz - Rüdesheim 35 km/49 km

The beautiful first stage leads through rolling vineyards and well-known wine villages. The Rhine is flowing quite unhurriedly, forming little islands and broadening its bed up to 800 m width! Until you reach Rüdesheim you may visit (+ 14 km) the half-timbered town of Eltville and monastery Eberbach, which are worth seeing.

4. day  Rüdesheim - St. Goar 38 km

Pompous castles attract on your way. And you definitely should climb up to the Loreley! A hiking path leads up to this lovely spot and offers a beautiful sight to the narrowest part in the romantic Rhine Valley.

5. day  St.Goar - Koblenz 36 km

Further on in the narrow Rhine Valley, the route firstly leads to Boppart. In this place it is quite turbulent, but if you wish you can go to ‚Vierseenblick‘ by cable car in densely wooded heights. Or you may visit on your further way to the ‚Deutschen Eck‘ in Koblenz the well preserved castle Marksburg and castle Stolzenfels.

6. day  Departing from Koblenz

Nobody wants to leave, but after a 4 days in the beautiful Rhine Valley the tour ends in Koblenz (Departure possible with German railway).
