Points of interest along the route

  1. Point of interest after 1.5 km

    If you prefer, follow this road as it curves left, then right to the Rhine. Turn left at the riverside, along the cyclepath.

  2. Point of interest after 2.1 km

    At this point, the previous described route (Route 14A) deviated from the Rhine Route to terminate at Gernsheim railway station. To continue along the Rhine-side route, continue with the Rhine on your right hand side and join Route 15A at the next marked point on this map.

  3. Point of interest after 2.3 km

    Rejoin the Rhine Route at this point, from Route 14A.

  4. Accommodation after 21.1 km

    Camp Site: I have used this campsite in the past and found the facilities to be excellent. Even after it had been recently flooded, I found a suitable place to camp.

  10. Point of interest after 44.8 km

    At this point, instead of turning Left, you can carry straight onwards, swinging left to take the bi-directional cycle path along the left hand side of the bridge.
