The water wheel between the Kurmittelhaus in Bad Münster am Stein and the Nahe had to be decommissioned due to dilapidation. The water wheel at the old brine reservoir was built in 1993 by a Bad Kreuznach carpentry company from larch wood. It has a diameter of nine meters. Metal bands and steel bolts hold the wooden elements together.

Rotenfels: Alpine feeling on the bike path! Watch out, a giant is in sight! Shortly after Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you pass the Rotenfels massif, the highest cliff face in Germany north of the Alps. We're talking about over 200 meters of pure rock, rising vertically above the Nahe River. This isn't a hill anymore; it's a geological shocker! The entire mass consists of reddish porphyry rock, which glows fiery red, especially in the evening (or in good light). Truly spectacular. From the bike path, you can see the full force of it. You suddenly feel very small, which can be quite relaxing after 50 kilometers in the saddle. Fun fact: Up on the Rotenfels is a climbing area – only for pros! I prefer to stay on my 25mm tire asphalt and enjoy the view from below. No need to climb too high; the panorama from here is already unbeatable! My tip: Stop and enjoy the moment. Take a photo with this rock colossus as proof.

The cycle path runs parallel to the historic railcar route, giving it a very special charm. The route is largely flat, making it ideal for leisurely rides or family outings. You'll cycle through the Glan and Blies valleys, past idyllic villages, fields, and forests – with plenty of nature along the entire Glan River.
