Mainz and Cologne have the Rhine. Cochem and Bernkastel-Kues have the Moselle. Koblenz has both!

September 17, 2022,Von Koblenz nach Mainz
Very varied day today.
Today's route along the Rhine was characterized by constantly changing landscapes.
That's how it started from Deutsches Eck. Sometimes it was the slopes with the wine in wide open valleys.
Sometimes it was almost like a gorge at the Loreley.
Then came the first tourist towns with a wine background.
It may be known, for example …

That has never happened to me either. My phone closed all apps due to overheating. That's why today's tour is missing 4 km.
There was a gusty headwind on the Rhine to the south today, so that I sometimes have the feeling of driving against a foehn. In addition, there was hardly any shade on the section today. I was …

Sunny summer day 🤩. But head wind the entire trip
As part of our three-day cycling tour "Kurpfalz meets Rheinland," we'll cycle from Wiesloch in northern Baden, more precisely in the Kurpfalz region, to Cologne in the Rhineland. We've planned overnight stops in Gau-Algesheim and Andernach. The tours take us past Rhine meadows, through vineyards and vibrant cities, as well as through picturesque little villages. We'll cycle through the federal …

Koblenz (district/Rhineland-Palatinate) - Mainz (district capital/Rhineland-Palatinate)
Today, drafting went better, as I wasn't so close to Annette that I didn't have to worry about landing in pitfalls or having to jump over jumps. Not the entire route, of course, as this didn't improve over time either. On our favorite route, we were able to gawk a lot again, in all …

Today it got quite hot again. Almost 30°C and often in the sun. The first half of the cycle path was very well developed. Later, it went directly alongside the federal highway for a few km. The wind in the narrow Rhine valley here sometimes came quite fiercely from the front and sometimes quite fiercely from the back. The only …

The route from Mainz to Koblenz has been on my plan for decades. After having offered myself the chance today on a dreary November day after more than 20 years since moving away from Mainz, I walked on old tracks again.
There are certainly alternatives as far as Bingen. However, I wanted to pass a few stations that were important …
