Overview
About this collection
A mellow stage of the Water Castles Route in North Rhine-Westphalia, weaving past moated castles, quiet villages, and open fields. Expect mostly smooth riding on pavement with a few short gravel stretches—fine for touring bikes; slightly wider tires make it comfier. The route mixes farm tracks, quiet roads, and a bit of path and cycleway, so traffic stays low and scenery stays high. Elevation is gentle with a couple of small rises.
Perfect for an easy day with history stops and photos: classic Rhineland landscapes, water-filled moats, and old manor houses. Pack a lock for castle visits and plan a café stop in one of the villages. If you’re linking multiple stages, this one makes a relaxed connector without skimping on sights.
