Really not a challenge in terms of altitude. But ideal for enjoyment. Great bike paths, fantastic views of the Rhine and Speyer......
Highly recommended for connoisseurs. If you are looking for a sporting challenge, this is not the place for you.

August 1, 2022,Wo ich herkomme

Haute I showed my son some places from my childhood.
I spent the first 5 years of my life in Lingenfeld - my great-grandfather's house is still there, but I couldn't say for sure which it was as I drove by.

My grandparents lived directly opposite when my grandfather retired, and my aunt and stepparents were also close by.

December 27, 2024,Philippsburg-Speyer

Small round trip from Philippsburg to Speyer. It was cold, but sunny throughout. After doing some errands in Philippsburg, we didn't want to go straight home, but decided to go back via Speyer. While the day before there were mostly pedestrians on the road, today there were surprisingly many cyclists (mostly athletes) on the road.

It was cold again, but sunny, and our grandson had to go home today. So we went to Oberhausen in bright sunshine but with temperatures in the single figures. After dropping off our grandson at home, the question arose as to how we should continue. Because of the sunny weather, it was clear that we would not go straight back …

May 21, 2023,⚓️ U 17 ⚓️

With great cycling weather, we started today on well-known paths from Germersheim to Speyer. We left the well-known sights a bit unnoticed today, because our goal was to accompany U17 on the way from Kiel via Speyer to the final destination Technik Museum Sinsheim. 500 tons, 50 meters in length and a height of nine meters are perhaps not the …

Today the tour went more along the Rhine. Unfortunately, that was a bit too short yesterday.

The highlight of the day was of course Speyer 🤩
Beautiful cathedral & great old town with many small and larger shops.
Here I already found something for Christmas 🤫

October 3, 2022,Germersheim-Toller Radweg am Damm entlang Richtung Speyer und auf der Badischen Seite zurück

Luckily, on the day of German unity, the sun came out again. Grabbed the bikes on the spur of the moment and made a tour along the Rhine. From Germersheim we went via Lingenfeld in the direction of Speyer. There a bit of sightseeing at the cathedral and old gate, always impressive. Then over the Rhine to Baden and almost …
