Rotenfels: Alpine feeling on the bike path! Watch out, a giant is in sight! Shortly after Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, you pass the Rotenfels massif, the highest cliff face in Germany north of the Alps. We're talking about over 200 meters of pure rock, rising vertically above the Nahe River. This isn't a hill anymore; it's a geological shocker! The entire mass consists of reddish porphyry rock, which glows fiery red, especially in the evening (or in good light). Truly spectacular. From the bike path, you can see the full force of it. You suddenly feel very small, which can be quite relaxing after 50 kilometers in the saddle. Fun fact: Up on the Rotenfels is a climbing area – only for pros! I prefer to stay on my 25mm tire asphalt and enjoy the view from below. No need to climb too high; the panorama from here is already unbeatable! My tip: Stop and enjoy the moment. Take a photo with this rock colossus as proof.

👑 Rheingrafenstein Castle Ruins – The Rock Boss on the Cycle Path Tip: Stop here! The Rheingrafenstein ruins sit dramatically perched on a 136-meter-high porphyry cliff above the Nahe River – one of the most impressive sights of the entire tour. The castle was the ancestral seat of the famous Wildgraves and Rhinegraves (until it was blown up in 1689). The view from the cycle path is phenomenal! If you really want to go up (and have enough energy), you can take the small hand-pulled ferry across and take the steep hiking trail to the ruins. It's worth it for the view over the Nahe Valley, but honestly: My legs were already tired enough from cycling. The panoramic view from below is worth its weight in gold! A must-have for your photo collection!

The cycle path runs parallel to the historic railcar route, giving it a very special charm. The route is largely flat, making it ideal for leisurely rides or family outings. You'll cycle through the Glan and Blies valleys, past idyllic villages, fields, and forests – with plenty of nature along the entire Glan River.
