Self-guided Cycling Tour 7 days along the Rhine river

Blossoming almond trees, juicy figs and kiwis, sun-kissed vineyards - are you in Italy? Sounds great, but this time we're going to Germany! You don't think so? Then come with us to the dreamlike Palatinate region, where hearty cuisine meets Mediterranean atmosphere and historically significant architecture meets lively towns. With this tour, Eurobike dedicates seven days of activity and relaxation to this special region.

Highlights:

• Speyer Cathedral: The foundation stone of the world-famous imperial and Marian cathedral was laid around 1030. From the Palatinate War of Succession to the French Revolution, the monumental building survived many historical events and is today considered the largest preserved church of the Romanesque period.
• Idyll along the the Rhine: Once winding and full of loops, the Rhine was gradually straightened to make it usable for shipping. In many places, nature has reclaimed the Old Rhine and presents itself in a particularly picturesque way. Due to the shallow depth, many water plants thrive here, which in turn has led to the settlement of numerous bird species.
• The vibrant Heidelberg can be enjoyed on the banks of the Neckar. Tip: You can put your feet in the sand on the city beach. Canoe, motorboat or boat trip - the possibilities on the water are also numerous. The castle and the Philosophenweg are also part of any city tour of Heidelberg.
• Small winegrowing villages along the Wine Route: Bad Dürkheim, Deidesheim & Co. combine tradition and modernity as the home of Riesling. Enjoy an innovative organic wine in front of the typical half-timbered backdrop and let your trip pass in a relaxed way.
