Rhein-Radweg

The Rhine Cycle Route (EV15 EuroVelo 15) is a long-distance cycle path of about 1,350 km that runs through five countries from the source of the Rhine in the Swiss Alps at the Oberalp Pass to its mouth at Rotterdam. The first approximately 430 km of the Rhine Cycle Route runs in Switzerland up to Basel, only partially along the banks of the Vorder Rhine, the Alpine Rhine, and the High Rhine, marked as the Rhine Route with number 2. A small section from St. Margrethen to Rheineck runs through Austria. The second approximately 385 km long Upper Rhine section of the Rhine Cycle Route is guided through the Upper Rhine Plain and the Mainz Basin. Here, one can choose to ride on the left bank in France or on the right bank in Germany between Alsace / the Vosges and the Black Forest. The third 132 km section of the Rhine Cycle Route runs along the Rhine through the Middle Rhine Valley from Bingen to Bonn. The left bank section between Bingen and Koblenz, shaped by castles, through the Rhine Slate Mountains is particularly impressive. The fourth section, about 460 km long, of the Rhine Cycle Route runs along the Lower Rhine from Bonn to Rotterdam. From Bonn via Cologne and Düsseldorf to Duisburg runs the experience path Rheinschiene. In the Netherlands, routes along the Waal or along the Nederrijn and Leks to the Rhine estuary at Rotterdam are possible.
