View of the Rhine in Leopoldshafen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the Rhine. There is a ferry here, a restaurant with a beer garden that is well-frequented in summer, and plenty of parking spaces, often used by motorhomes.

View of the Old Rhine

Highlight • River

A small branch of the Old Rhine, close to the lively Rhine promenade. Therefore, it's only semi-idyllic 😉. But beautiful 😀

There is a lot to see along the banks of the Rhine between Sondernheim and Germersheim, and you have the opportunity to have a snack and take a rest at the benches on your further journey.

This morning a look at the weather report and the route for today's tour was set. Wind from the north with a tailwind to Karlsruhe. At 10 a.m. the wind (according to the weather report) turns back with a tailwind from 10 a.m. 👍
So far so good, the only problem was that the wind didn't change at 10 am …

August 12, 2022,Tour von Germersheim nach Wörth, über den Rhein und zurück nach Germersheim

Along the Rhine...at least that's what I thought. However, the path, which by the way was a great cycle path, almost always ran along the dams, not really within sight of the Rhine. On the first half from Germersheim to Wörth, you rarely saw the river. After crossing the Rhine over the bridge in Wörth, we continued for a few …

Luckily I'm slowly but surely getting to know our corner quite well. So I could almost feel my route, because I only saw fog this morning, then someone stole the Rhine, so orientation was completely on suspicion.
It was COLD, ice formed on my jacket, but well wrapped up, cycling is fun even in this weather.
Shortly before Karlsruhe the …

A very nice bike tour through the beautiful countryside and a great view of the fields, forest and Rhine. Highly recommended and at the end we treated ourselves to a steak and a shandy.

Actually, the 20 km for the sports badge should be driven this morning at KIT-Nord. A lot because of an "Open Day" at KIT.
So change of plan and made the tour to Germersheim and via the Rhine cycle path to Wörth.
Mowing work was being carried out on the route along the Alb, where I got a "flat foot" …

I used the early morning to go on another tour on the Rhine cycle path to Germersheim. It was a nice, quiet tour without any stress. Things will be different on May 1st. Then I'll put my feet up for a bit😄👍

This morning I set off again on the BMC bike for a tour to Germersheim.
After a good breakfast, we set off towards the Rhine bridge near Maximiliansau just in time for sunrise. Here I discovered a VIKING river cruiser heading towards Basel in the fog.
We continued to Wörth, where I cycled on the Rhine cycle path along the …

Before the weather turned bad, I used the morning to take a ride on the Rhine Cycle Path from Wörth to Germersheim. Despite the north-easterly wind, I made good progress. I met several touring cyclists heading south on the Rhine Cycle Path.
In Germersheim, I made myself comfortable on a bench, had something to eat and drink, and watched the …
