Ginsheim Bike Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle route between Ginsheim and the Gustavsburg industrial park, far from the car, always along or on the embankment.

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.

Der Rote Hang is always worth a trip: Firstly, there is always something to see here, and secondly, the cycle paths up here are something special.

August 16, 2025,Gernsheim 100 bei wunderschönem Radwetter

Gernsheim 100 in beautiful cycling weather.
Today I wasn't sure how far my strength would take me.
After yesterday's visit to the wine festival in Wiesbaden with a few beers, my body wasn't in top shape.
I started towards Ginsheim Gustavsburg, then continued via Trebur, Riedstadt, Stockstadt Biebesheim to Gernsheim.
There are many small beer gardens around the pier that …

... but one last round in 2022.

Since the weather was expected to remain reasonably nice only in the morning, I used the time and drove the big round of the Rhine to the Gernsheim ferry.
Until then, 40 km had to be done in a headwind.
Poor in charm (and trees), the reed is very susceptible to wind.

September 5, 2021,Von Laubenheim nach Gernsheim und zurück 🚴🏻‍♀️☀️🚴‍♂️

In the beautiful late summer weather we started a round trip from Laubenheim today, because we didn't want to rely on the train for the return trip because of the strike. The goal of the tour was Gernsheim, where we then took the ferry to return to Laubenheim on the other side of the Rhine. In Trebur there was a …

June 15, 2023,Ginsheim - Gernsheim - Nierstein

With a light wind and great sunshine, a leisurely tour with the aim of making my annual visit to the Biebsheim storks. The former bird park there is unfortunately out of order and is to be redesigned. It would be 76 stork nests, said a local who also took photos. The storks are simply beautiful birds and you will actually …

A nice round on asphalt/concrete paths, although on the Hessian side there are often old concrete slabs with unsightly cracks between the slabs. But that doesn't matter. Construction is still going on at the harbor in Gernsheim, the restaurant there has been significantly expanded and was well frequented. There was also something going on at the snack bar on the …
