Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Cologne, Germany

Cologne is easily accessible from either the Cologne/Bonn or Dusseldorf airports, and has easy train connections from several other European cities such as Brussels and Amsterdam. Cologne is a great city to explore and is dominated by its cathedral, Kölner Dom. This w...

Day 2: Bike from Cologne to Konigswinter

The first day of biking is easy and flat, and a great warm up for the next few days. We bike along the river and pass through Bonn, the former capital of West Germany, and the birthplace of Beethoven. Bonn is a smaller city that features a lot of outdoor cafes and bie...

Day 3: Bike from Konigswinter to Koblenz

During the ride today, the surrounding countryside starts to become a little more hilly, although the path along the river remains flat and perfect for biking! Koblenz is situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, and has plenty of activities for you ...

Day 4: Optional biking along the Moselle River

Today you have the option of staying in Koblenz to relax and partake in some of the many activities available in the city, or you can opt to do more biking. The optional ride today is along another famous German river, the Moselle. The river’s character is distinct fr...

Day 5: Bike from Koblenz to Oberwesel

Biking south from Koblenz, we enter the Rhine Gorge, which is possibly the most gorgeous part of the trip (and maybe all of Germany!) This valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring more than 40 castles and fortresses, many dating back to the Middle Ages. Small...

Day 6: Bike from Oberwesel to Rudesheim

We cover less distance today to give you time to thoroughly enjoy the castle and to really explore this beautiful area. After a delicious breakfast at the castle and a chance to explore the garden and castle grounds, we continue biking through the scenic Rhine Gorge. ...

Day 7: Farewell Rudesheim!

Today you are on your own to explore more of Rudesheim, visit another nearby town along the Rhine (Mainz and Heidelberg aren’t far!), or continue on to another destination in Germany or Europe. We are more than happy to provide some suggestions and help with arrangements.
