RHINE CYCLE ROUTE FROM BINGEN TO REMAGEN
Length: 119 km
Altitude: 47 meters up, 79 meters down
Start: Bingen
Objective: Rolandseck
The Rhine Cycle Route from Bingen to Remagen is expanded along its entire route as a separate bike path and very easily accessible directly on the Rhine, sometimes built-up areas on the river Rhine, sometimes as a separate bike path alongside the road.
On the right side of the Rhine between Koblenz Kaub and the cycling is still hampered by some shortcomings. Expanded until the entire right bank Rheinradweg is a good idea to bridge sections by boat or train.
1. Stage from Bingen to Koblenz
Start by a UNESCO declared World Heritage "Upper Middle Rhine Valley" between Bingen and Koblenz, the confluence of the Nahe and the Rhine, at the crossroads between the Middle and Long distance routes Rheinradweg.

Here, at the end of the stage, opposite the famous equestrian statue of Emperor William I at the Deutsches Eck, the imposing Prussian Ehrenbreitstein. The Old Town with its imposing medieval churches, picturesque alleys and squares, as well as many bourgeois houses from different centuries invites you to linger.
