Overview

This cycle tour goes through three magnificent European regions - Alsace, Baden and the Palatinate and there is a very pleasant mild climate throughout. Due to both the history and the climate, these three regions have one thing in common - wine-growing. In terms of food, you will enjoy a large variety here. During this tour, charming landscapes alter and you can expect lots of cultural highlights too. How did the Romans bring wine-growing to this region? What did the German emperors leave behind in Strasbourg, Speyer and Worms? Look forward to the great atmosphere and a lovely route along the river Rhine. The tour mainly cycles on well-built cycle paths along the Rhine cycle path. A predominantly flat route that is an easy cycle for everybody.
