Itinerary
*** Rental bike not included!
Cycling leisurely through vineyards and the Rhine Valley
The Palatinate is the second-largest wine-growing region in Germany, blessed with an almost Mediterranean climate and numerous hours of sunshine. Therefore, you can even take the centre-based tour in southwestern Germany from the beginning of April to October. Every season has different surprises – like the blooming flowers in spring, mild evenings in summer and the grape harvest in autumn. By the way, wine is omnipresent on this cycling holiday, be it a wine tasting, a walk through the wine villages of Wachenheim and Deidesheim or cycle paths through the vineyards.
Details of the Palatinate wine tour
The seven-day cycle tour, starting from Bad Dürkheim, leads over idyllic paths through the Palatinate. Forests, meadows and vines alternate and bring variety to the daily stages. The cycling holiday programme is just as varied. Let yourself be pampered with culinary and cultural delights – for example in Speyer, the secret German wine capital Neustadt or in Edenkoben.
Useful information about cycling holidays in the Palatinate
You spend the first day comfortably in Bad Dürkheim with the bike handover and a short walk through the old town, which is only a few steps from your hotel. The daily stages always start and end in Bad Dürkheim and are between 20 and 85 kilometres long. You cycle over hilly terrain with short climbs. In the Rhine Valley the routes are flat.
