Rhine cycling - The cycling event of Rhinehessen

It's that time again: the cycling event between Worms and Oppenheim is coming up and will once again transform the Rhine into the centre of the largest folk festival in Rheinhessen.

Anyone who wants to is invited to experience the 25-kilometre route from a completely new, car-free perspective on this day. Whether on a bike, on foot, on inline skates or with a pushchair - everyone gets their money's worth here.

Rheinhessen also shows its best side and allows you to enjoy the countryside as you drive past. Between the beautiful landscape park of Herrnsheim Castle and the wine town of Oppenheim with its impressive St Catherine's Church, the wine villages of the Rhine Terrace are lined up and await you with lots of great activities. Join in the cycling fun between the Rhine and the vines!

The route leads from Worms via Osthofen - Mettenheim - Alsheim - Guntersblum - Ludwigshöhe - Dienheim to Oppenheim and can also be cycled in the opposite direction.

The Rhine Cycle Path

The Rhine Cycle Path in Rheinhessen takes you on about 90 km from Worms, from cathedral to cathedral, through idyllic floodplain areas to the state capital Mainz and to the Rhine-Nahe corner in Bingen, the 'Gateway to the Middle Rhine Valley.' Almost flat and mostly paved, it offers a delightful experience for both leisure cyclists and road cyclists. In the north, you'll find the next stages of the Romantic Rhine towards Koblenz and Cologne, and in the south, those of the Palatinate towards Speyer.
