À vélo de Mayence à Wiesbaden

Looking for a fun ride between two historic German cities? This route takes you from Mainz to Wiesbaden—two lively places right across the Rhine from each other, both full of character and charm. Starting in Mainz, famous for its Roman heritage and as the birthplace of the printed book, you’ll enjoy a mostly paved journey with gentle ups and downs (about 165 meters ascent, 169 meters descent).

The path is a mix of smooth asphalt, some concrete, and a little bit of paving stone, mostly on paths or quiet roads. So, you won’t have to deal with much traffic. The Rhine is never far as you cruise through riverside neighborhoods and parks, and you might want to make a pit stop to admire the view! With about 18.5 km to cover, it’s a relaxed trip, good for a morning out or a scenic afternoon.

When you roll into Wiesbaden, you’re arriving in one of Europe’s oldest spa towns—a place famous for its grand architecture, thermal baths, and vibrant city center. Don’t forget to celebrate with a coffee (or a spa break!) at the end.
