Winemaker tour Rhine

A ferry trip across the Rhine and you are in Bingen (own management) at the mouth of the Nahe. On the Nahe cycle path you cycle to Bad Kreuznach. Marvel at the extensive spa park with its graduation towers, healing springs and water wheels, which together form Europe's largest open-air inhalatorium. From here you start an interesting circular tour through the Nahe Valley. You cycle romantically embedded between spectacular rock formations, discover the largest steep wall between the Alps and Scandinavia in Rotenfels and can visit a winemaker in Schloßböckelheim.

On the Rhine Terrace cycle path you cycle to Oppenheim to the German Viticulture Museum, which presents 2000 years of viticulture culture in a diverse manner.

The wine on the left, the Rhine on the right, so in the morning you cycle the first flat kilometers to the old town of Mainz. Marvel at the Romanesque cathedral, the electoral palace and the Gutenberg Museum, all outstanding sights in this lively city. Mainz is considered the wine capital due to its numerous wine bars and modern wine shops. After a worthwhile break, you can enjoy cycling along the Rhine cycle path towards the Rheingau.
