Rhein Riverside Path Near B42

Highlight • Cycleway

Super nice route to drive

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.

That was a beautiful tour from Rüdesheim over the Schiersteiner Bridge in Wiesbaden and via Bingen back to Rüdesheim, always along the Rhine with stops at every wine stand 😏😇

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.

As rain was forecast today I set off at 10 a.m.
First towards Bingen and then took the ferry to Rüdesheim.
When I saw the Germania I decided to visit it.
The path through the vineyards is very steep but with a little help it's doable.
When you arrive at the Germania you are rewarded with a magnificent view over …

☞👫 Today we cycled from Mainz Mombach to Bingen.
The floods forced us to drive a few meters more as far as Bingen and take detours. The headwind also accompanied us to Bingen.
Up the Rhine from Rüdesheim to Eltville it was much better and you could drive right next to the water and the wind came from behind ... …
