Route
Tour profile/ Level 1:
Very relaxed cycling in mostly flat terrain. The route along the Rhine runs almost exclusively on asphalted and paved hiking and cycling trails or along quiet country roads.
Day 1: Mainz
Individual arrival. In Mainz you should be well on time! Not just the Roman-Germanic central museum, the Gutenberg museum, the emperors cathedral and the electors castle are worth an ample visit.
Day 2: Mainz – Rüdesheim, approx. 35 - 49 km
The beautiful first stage leads you 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 the half-timbered town of Eltville and monastery Eberbach (+ 14 km), which are worth seeing.
Day 3: Rüdesheim – St. Goar, approx. 34 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.
Day 4: St. Goar – Koblenz, approx. 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 the well preserved castle Marksburg and castle Stolzenfels on your further way to the ‚Deutsche Eck‘ in Koblenz.
Day 5: Koblenz – Bad Godesberg, approx. 61 km
Cosy health resorts and inviting wine villages vie for your visit! Thermal baths and beer gardens also want to regale you. Or you may have a break from cycling and go to an enjoyable boat trip on the Rhine. Between Koblenz and Bad Godesberg everything is possible!
Day 6: Bad Godesberg – Cologne, approx. 43 km
Bonn will be on your way and invites you for an ample visit until the Cologne cathedral comes into field of vision. The today’s stage isn’t that long so you will be quite early in your hotel which is located in the city centre. You will still have enough time to admire the manifold sights of Cologne.
Day 7: Cologne
Individual departure or extension.
