Itinerary

Travel to Neustadt an der Weinstraße on your own. In the late afternoon, there will be an orientation session and bike pickup (if booked). Spend your first evening strolling through the romantic old town and get in the mood for your journey through one of Germany’s most beautiful regions.

The route winds through romantic wine-growing villages with a unique atmosphere. In the former fortified town of Landau, you’ll visit the medieval municipal department store on Rathausplatz, and in Klingenmünster, you’ll enjoy the view of the Rhine Valley from Landeck Fortress. At the end of the stage, the Baroque castle, the historic “Engel” inn, and the Westwall Museum are all worth seeing.

Ride through the Weintor in Schweigen and head straight to Wissembourg in Alsace, home to its former Benedictine abbey. Enjoy a leisurely bike ride through the Bienwald Forest and the Lauter Valley to the Rhine. The Baroque palace in Rastatt provides a spectacular end to the day.

After a very scenic stretch along the Rhine, the route takes you past the former royal seat of Karlsruhe, with its palace and pyramid. Passing through the Palatinate’s largest nature reserve, the Hördter Rheinauen, you’ll arrive in the former fortified town of Germersheim.

The “Old Father” Rhine takes you to the imperial city of Speyer and its impressive cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the Rhine Valley, the route now heads back toward the wine-growing region. You’ll follow the bike path along the Speyerbach stream and cycle leisurely back to the tour’s starting point in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.

After breakfast individual departure or start of your extension stay.
