RHINE CYCLE ROUTE FROM BINGEN TO REMAGEN

Length: 119 km
Altitude: 47 meters up, 79 meters down
Start: Bingen
Objective: Rolandseck

 

The Rhine Cycle Route from Bingen to Remagen is expanded along its entire route as a separate bike path and very easily accessible directly on the Rhine, sometimes built-up areas on the river Rhine, sometimes as a separate bike path alongside the road.

On the right side of the Rhine between Koblenz Kaub and the cycling is still hampered by some shortcomings. Expanded until the entire right bank Rheinradweg is a good idea to bridge sections by boat or train.

 

1. Stage from Bingen to Koblenz

 

Start by a UNESCO declared World Heritage "Upper Middle Rhine Valley" between Bingen and Koblenz, the confluence of the Nahe and the Rhine, at the crossroads between the Middle and Long distance routes Rheinradweg.

Medieval towns such as Bacharach and Oberwesel with its preserved in large parts of walls invite on the line between Bingen and Koblenz, as well as to Stopovers numerous castles and palaces.

Boppard find the remains of a Roman town from the 4th century, the best preserved north of the Alps. Past the famous vineyard "Boppard Hamm" and by the great Rhine loop leads the way towards Koblenz, the city at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle.

Here, at the end of the stage, opposite the famous equestrian statue of Emperor William I at the Deutsches Eck, the imposing Prussian Ehrenbreitstein. The Old Town with its imposing medieval churches, picturesque alleys and squares, as well as many bourgeois houses from different centuries invites you to linger.

At the Deutsches Eck the Moselle bike path adjacent to the Rhine, so that's worth a trip upriver.

 

For accommodation, we recommend our partner hotel Top Hotel Krämer.

 

2. Stage from Koblenz to Rolandseck

 

From Koblenz we arrive directly at the Rhine to Andernach, where many relics have been preserved in the Middle Ages. The Romanesque church of Our Lady is one of the most beautiful religious buildings in the Rhineland, the ruins of the town castle from the 12th Century impresses even today.

Behind Andernach you have the opportunity to see the volcano park bike path through the East Eifel Volcanic Mayen to the legislative history of the earth. Numerous volcanic and archaeological projects are connected over a distance of 31 km.

Continue along the Rhine can be reached via Namedy the Hohenzollernschloss with the same name in the spa town of Bad Breisig. Here, the Rhine promenade is ideal for a breather before one of the most famous relics of World War II reached the bridge at Remagen. Less well known but no less interesting are the Apolliariskirche and the railway station Rolandseck, a monument of the early German railroad. Today it houses the Museum of ARP. Behind the border to North Rhine-Westphalia, the Rhine cycle path goes into the "experience bar Rhine" on, which allows for continuation in the direction of Bonn and Cologne.

Endpoint is Rolandswerth with Roland arch high above the Rhine. The rest of the castle from the 12th Century is one of the icons of the Romantic Rhine and inspired poets and painters alike.
