The Rhine Cycle Path could be improved with surface and routing. The route from Vallendar to Engers is really no fun. Please do not imitate the descent from the Marksburg. It ended on the Rheinsteig.

March 26, 2022,Neuwied - Boppard - Neuwied 🚴🏻‍♂️☀️, 26.03.2022

Today I finally opened the 2022 bike season. It went to the Rhine again: from Neuwied over the Raiffeisen Bridge and via Weißenthurm on the left bank of the Rhine to Koblenz, over the Moselle and to the Deutsches Eck, on to Boppard and back to Koblenz. Over the Pfaffendorfer Bridge and on the right bank of the Rhine via …

Instead of driving on the left bank of the Rhine, I drove on the right bank of the Rhine. Past the Marksburg and the mouth of the Lahn in Lahnstein to …

A varied route along the Rhine.
The last 10 km led directly along the road 🥴
Definitely to be continued 😊

March 18, 2023,Top Tach auf'm Bike 😁

In the best weather, we're going along the Rhine towards Bopparder Hamn today 😁

The paths are quite easy to drive, even if they are sometimes unspectacular 😏

But then it's uphill, straight into the vineyards to what is probably the most brilliant view you can imagine 😎

November 4, 2024,Von Osterspai am Rhein entlang nach Koblenz

We set off at around 10am in the morning with overcast skies and 6 degrees. As the weather forecast had said, the sun came out just before 11. But there was still a cold wind and without a hat, our ears got cold. The main season is over and renovations and cleaning are going on everywhere. That's why there are …
