Self-guided Cycling Tour along the romantic Rhine

German Tuscany or home of emperors and kings - you can choose the name for the Palatinate and we will provide you with a route that combines the best of this region. Think picturesque wine villages, towns full of art and culture, unique nature and great cuisine that combines hearty fare with French influences. With Speyer and Worms you will explore two of the three Rhenish imperial cathedral cities and in Heidelberg student flair meets extraordinary architecture.

Highlights:

• Speyer Cathedral: As the burial place of emperors and kings, the largest Romanesque church still standing is more than worth a visit. And yet Speyer has many other highlights up its sleeve: the Technology Museum, the Trinity Church or the Rhine bank promenade with numerous opportunities to stroll and enjoy.
• Idyll along the arms of the Altrhein: Islands, peninsulas, meadows and lakes now form the Altrhein, which has been reclaimed by nature in many places after the straightening of one of the busiest waterways in the world.
• As a student city with the oldest university in Germany, life pulsates in Heidelberg. The numerous cafés, restaurants and bars, where it is worth stopping off, also bear witness to this. Get yourself a ‘Studentenkuss’ and follow in the footsteps of countless romantics at the Liebesstein (Love Stone) next to the Alte Brücke (Old Bridge). Grandiose views are to be had on the Philosophenweg.
• Small winegrowing villages along the Wine Route: Soak up the unique flair during a visit to the numerous winegrowers in the world's largest Riesling-growing region. Be sure to try the typical Pfälzer Saumagen, the "Keschde" or a tarte flambée with regional figs.
