The Rhine Cycle Path in Germany

Your bike tour along the Rhine Cycle Path in Germany begins in Mainz.
Mainz can look back on an eventful history. From Roman Mogontiacum to the capital of a French department, from a proud free city to a federal fortress – every era has left its mark. The old town with its winding streets, small boutiques, and quaint wine bars stretches out in the shadow of the cathedral. Reserved rental bikes are available at the hotel

The first stretch of the journey on the Rhine cycle path leisurely takes you through a wonderful landscape. A short detour to the wine, sparkling wine and rose town of Eltville and the abbey Ebersbach is worthwhile. The town awaits you with its colourful framework houses and romantic rose gardens. The abbey Eberbach is one of the most important cultural monuments in Germany.

Steeped in legend, romantic, uniquely beautiful - these are how fascinated visitors described our next destination. A slate rock which soars nearly vertically into the sky, 132 m above the Rhine - this is the lexicon description. You may have realised this is an absolute highlight of our tour: the Loreley. The Rhine daughter has pulled boatmen into its spell for eternity.

Powerful castles line the way even today. Marksburg Castle and Stolzenfels Castle above Koblenz are particularly worth seeing. Explore the history of the city, which is over 2000 years old. Its rich cultural heritage in incredibly beautiful surroundings is inspiring. The famous German Corner got its name from the settlement of the Teutonic Order at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle.

Once again our journey takes us through romantic vineyards and inviting little villages up to Bad Godesberg. This suburb of Bonn was the diplomats residence up until the German capital was moved to Berlin. It seems obvious to shorten the long stretch with an interesting boat journey on the Rhine. This leaves more time to let the evening come to a cosy end in one of the welcoming wine villages.

Quickly you reach Bonn, which you should definitely visit. Then you reach the last highlight of the tour. Cologne entices visitors with the famous Cathedral, one of the most visited sights in Germany. Rhine Park, botanical garden, chocolate museum – the list of attractions worth seeing is long. And in the evening you can have a fresh Koelsch in the city centre.

After breakfast your bike tour at the Rhine Cycle Path in Germany ends. Individual return journey to Mainz or home. We are also happy to extend your vacation in Cologne.
