June 8, 2024,Teil 6 Rheintour: Neuwied-Ingelheim

The last leg of our very nice tour is behind us. Unfortunately, we were denied the final beer at the "Goldener Engel" in Ingelhein. We were rudely asked to leave the beer garden. We wanted to ask if we could leave our fully loaded bikes near the table. Before we could even ask, the waiter told us to leave with …

Unfortunately the recording didn't work properly, so in the end we had about the same time as on the way back. The only difference is that we had rain and a headwind for about 40 km on the way there, as you can see from the average speed.

August 28, 2025,Radtour Saarbrücken-Nürnberg - Tag 5 - von Koblenz nach Mainz-Budenheim

After the Moselle Cycle Path ended yesterday, we continued cycling along the Rhine Cycle Path today. The cycle paths were consistently good, with no inclines. We also cycled past the Loreley rock, but unfortunately, the Loreley wasn't there 🤔😥. A castle kept appearing in view. Always exciting – when will the next one come? 😅. The landscape itself was diverse …

January 3, 2023,Fahrrad Tour: Mainz - Koblenz

In order to put my good intentions into practice, I wanted to start the new 2023 with a longer bike tour. It started directly at the Rheinhessen Dom in Mainz-Gonsenheim with the aim of reaching Koblenz, about 100km away.

The sun had a hard time penetrating the dense fog in the Rheinauen between Budenheim and Bingen on this Tuesday morning …

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 …

The alarm clock rings at 6 am. Outside, the rain is pouring down, the weather app promises improvement from 8 am – so we turned over again. After breakfast: indeed dry. Let's go!

We start in Niederwalluf and cruise along the Rhine Cycle Route – through Eltville, Oestrich-Winkel, Rüdesheim. Always with the vineyards in view. In Bingen, we take the …

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 …
