Day 2: Mainz – Rüdesheim (approx. 35-49 km)
Welcome to the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley. The beautiful first stage leads through rolling vineyards and well-known wine villages. The Rhine is flowing quite unhurriedly, forming little islands and broadening its bed up to 800 m width. Until you reach Rüdesheim you may visit the half-timbered town of Eltville and the monastery Eberbach (detour of approx. 14 km), which are both worth seeing.
Day 3: Rüdesheim – St. Goar (approx. 34 km)
Pompous castles attract on your way. And you definitely should climb up to the famous Loreley Rock. A hiking path leads up to this lovely spot and offers a beautiful sight to the narrowest part in the romantic Rhine Valley.
Day 4: St.Goar – Koblenz (approx. 36 km)
Further on in the narrow Rhine Valley, this route firstly leads to Boppart. In this place it is quite turbulent. If you wish you can go to "Vierseenblick" by cable car in densely wooded heights. Or you may visit on your further way to the "Deutsches Eck" in Koblenz the well preserved castled "Marksburg" and "Stolzenfels".
Day 5: Koblenz – Bad Godesberg (approx. 61 km)
Cosy health resorts and inviting wine villages vie today for your attention. Thermal baths and beer gardens also want to regale you on your way to Cologne. Or you may have a break from cycling and go to an enjoyable boat trip on the Rhine. Between Koblenz and Bad Godesberg everything is possible!
Day 6: Bad Godesberg – Cologne (approx. 43 km)
Bonn will be on your way and invites for an ample visit until the Cologne cathedral comes into field of vision. The today’s stage isn’t that long so you will be quite early in your hotel which is located in the city centre. You will still have enough time to admire the manifold sights of Cologne.
