Mainz South Bridge (View from the towpath)

View of Mainz from the Rhine Riverbank

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's almost like the "small" skyline of Frankfurt am Main. A very nice picture. The downer in the view is the huge new building, which is now directly in front of the cathedral.

Rhein Cycle Expressway Am Damm

Highlight • Cycleway

It's a really great cycle path. You can decide whether you want to drive asphalted or on the dam a grass-gravel road.

Cycle path along the main dike and the Old Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

Here, you can compete with the racing cyclists for many kilometers on the best asphalt ;-). Riding away from the road in what is admittedly a rather desolate landscape has something almost meditative about it.

An easy, almost completely flat route, mainly on asphalt. For the first time, I took a ferry to cross the Rhine.

May 26, 2024,Fähre Kornsand Nierstein 🔄 Hochheim * Via Roter Hang 🍇 & Hessisches Ried 🦆

This Sunday excursion took us via Mainspitze and Mainz-Kostheim, -Weisenau, -Laubenheim on asphalted paths, first to Nackenheim.

There we went through the town and then up into the vineyards to the Rhein-Terrassenweg (wonderful!), and through the mineral red vineyards (Am Roten Hang) to Nierstein.
