Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

Eltville's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

Schierstein Harbour

Highlight • Structure

No, of course this isn't Nice or Saint-Tropez, so the boats are smaller 😄.

But the boats and small yachts are certainly beautiful to look at. Plus, it's a wonderful starting point for a walk along the Rhine towards Eltville.

Heidenfahrt Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Always beautiful again: cozy benches with a view of the Rhine. In summer, there is gastronomy next door and usually a stand with fresh fruit. And all year round, the restaurant behind the dike.

The cycle path along the Rhine between Rüdesheim and Eltville is very beautiful.

Today the path led me towards Rüdesheim through the vineyards to the Niederwald monument.
From the Germania you have a wonderful view of Rüdesheim, vineyards, Bingen and of course the Rhine.
I then took the ferry across Ingelheim, Heidenfahrt in the direction of Gonsenheim.
We recommend.

It started at our campsite "Am Rhein GmbH" in Rüdesheim, along both banks of the Rhine.
This bike ride is a Komoot recommendation for this region:
