View of the Rhine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bridge itself is ugly and as a freeway, of course, loud and unpleasant. BUT: Between bridge Speyer and ferry Leimersheim simply the only way to get across the Rhine.

Germersheim Rhine Promenade

Highlight • River

There is a lot to see along the banks of the Rhine between Sondernheim and Germersheim, and you have the opportunity to have a snack and take a rest at the benches on your further journey.

Rhine Cycle Path from Linkenheim Rhine Meadows to Rott Island

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice navigable Rhine bank. An avenue which starts from the island of Rott forms the Rheinufer-Radweg, which can be followed upstream by ferryboat rides. :)

August 24, 2022,⚔️ Narben II (Westwall/ Festung Germersheim)

On the traces of the war we went to the north of Karlsruhe today.
I started at the Rhine ferry in Leopoldshafen and drove north along the Rhine on the EV 15 in the best weather. In Dettenheim it was a bumpy, almost enchanted path to the remains of national megalomania.
Blasted and overgrown, West Wall bunkers line up on …

May 22, 2025,Über den Deich und nicht in den Rhein: der Rheinradweg zwischen Lingenfeld und Leimersheim

A quiet and relaxing cycling route that often runs in a straight line along the dike or directly along the Rhine. There are numerous detours to get even closer to the Old Rhine and its floodplains on natural paths. The Eurovelo 15 signs are barely visible. Apart from the chirping of birds, you can hear nothing. The first stretch from …
