Heidenfahrt Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Always beautiful again: cozy benches with a view of the Rhine. In summer, there is gastronomy next door and usually a stand with fresh fruit. And all year round, the restaurant behind the dike.

October 14, 2023,Radreise 2023 Tag 1 - Mainz -> St. Goar

Day 1 of our bike trip this year. The ICE first went from Erfurt to Mainz or Wiesbaden because the DB had spontaneously changed its mind. But that wasn't a problem because an S-Bahn ran straight to Mainz.
We left the city along terrible roads. Then we followed the Rhine cycle path through increasingly beautiful landscapes to Sankt Goar, where …

Today is our penultimate stage - this goes from Mainz to Oberwesel. The drive from the hotel started at 9:40 am. It first went through an industrial area in Mainz in the direction of Budenheim. At the ferry connection there, the path branches off from the Rhine again, to Frei-Weinheim it is also the "fruit route" - apple and plum …

April 26, 2025,Oberwesel - Mainz

The second part of the Middle Rhine Valley in sunny weather and gusty headwinds. Vineyards on the eastern slopes, castles on the western slopes. Shortly after Bachsrach, we had to switch to the moderately busy road. Beyond Bingen, the Rhine Trail was closed near the Hindenburg Bridge. We were rerouted onto a path through a nature reserve where we could …

Seir Agrigento the first rain of the morning. Beautiful tour through the narrow Middle Rhine Valley, and almost too good to be true that a Mr. Rhinelander had bought the Schönburg Castle.

August 23, 2024,Mainz - St. Goarshausen

Today the weather is perfect for cycling. 25 degrees, a light breeze and hardly any elevation gain. I end up in Bingen, from where I take the Rhine ferry over to Rüdesheim. I actually wanted to do this without my bike and panniers, but there was no way to get them. The public transport was all broken and the station …

September 13, 2023,Auf dem Weg zur Nordsee: Etappe 6: Von Mainz nach Bacharach

This stage is very scenic. Due to the heavy rain yesterday, the Rhine meadows were very special today. Small lakes and ponds everywhere.
In the morning it was still cool and cloudy, but the weather improved. From Bingen onwards, the best cycling weather.
Today we also deviated from the Rhine cycle path and took the path directly along the bank. …

We start today's stage in drizzle. On the left bank of the Rhine it goes past St. Goarshausen, Oberwesel and Bacharach. The view of the Loreley and the Palatinate near Kaub is beautiful. In Bingen we cross the mouth of the Nahe and head for Mainz. The weather has meanwhile improved and we reach Mainz in the most beautiful sunshine. …
