Cycling day trip from Sankt Goar to Koblenz

Route: Sankt Goar to Koblenz by Bike

Get ready for a scenic ride along the legendary Rhine! Starting in Sankt Goar—famous for the mysterious Loreley rock and its medieval castles—you’ll cruise north towards Koblenz, where the Moselle and Rhine rivers meet. This route is about 41 km long, mainly on paved or asphalt surfaces (so no need for a mountain bike), weaving through riverside villages, terraced vineyards, and forested sections.

You’ll climb a few hills (about 435 meters of total ascent), but the overall ride includes more descending, especially as you approach the river’s wide bends near Koblenz. The majority of the time, you’re on quiet roads and scenic paths, with only brief sections using busier routes. Pack a picnic: there are plenty of riverfront spots perfect for a break.

Koblenz, your finish line, boasts the imposing Deutsches Eck and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress—well worth some post-ride exploring! Perfect for a leisurely day in the saddle, with postcard-worthy views around every corner.
