Panoramic view over vineyards and of the mouth of the Nahe into the Rhine in Bingen

Along the German wine route you will cycle past the sweet fruits dangling temptingly from the trees, only a whisker away from tasting them. A truly heavenly landscape awaits you in the area between the Rhine, Neckar and wine route. The active holiday cyclist will get a feel for the areas culinary wealth. The locals are also very special, they long to tell anecdotes about their homeland and recite stories about the famous cathedral in Speyer. A bike trip through paradise!

The classic cycle tour sees you travel for eight days to the historic centre of Germany. The people are pleasant and hospitable, and love to make their guests feel welcome. Enjoy a glass of wine and chat about the history of the places along the German wine route. And the best: You just have to reach out your hand along the bike path to taste the fresh kiwis, figs and cherries. A paradise for every cyclist sitting in the saddle!

  • Romantic vineyards: There are numerous shaded gardens along the German wine route to rest your tired feet. Whether Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay or Sauvingon blanc – wine connoisseurs will be in paradise!
  • Old imperial city of Worms: As far back as 1200, Worms was already world-renowned for its epic poetry. The famous ‘Nibelungenlied’ is still beloved today. Visit the Nibelungen Museum and immerse yourself in the world of Siegfried, Kriemhild and Co.

Your eight-day cycle through the southwest of Germany starts in Neustadt an der Winestraße. From then on the path follows the famous wine route. On the Rhine and the Neckar the route is completely flat, and on the wine route the profile is slightly hilly. It’ll be no problem for the experienced holiday cyclist! Every day you will travel between 40 and 60 kilometres on two wheels.
