Between Rocks and Vines - the Nahe Cycle Path

At the southern foothills of the Hunsrück, in the north of Saarland, a tiny stream trickles out of a rock. This is the birth of the Nahe, which flows through narrow gorges, past impressive rocks, picturesque villages and idyllic vineyards during its 125 kilometers, before it flows into the Rhine in Bingen. The landscapes are constantly changing and behind every river bend new, surprising highlights are waiting to be discovered by you.

In this collection, I would like to introduce you to the Nahe cycle path and have prepared the individual stages for you. The almost 130 kilometer long tour is best divided into three stages or, if you are a bit more sporty, you can master it in two days. But then you might miss some of the many treasures along the way, including the Mediterranean Bostalsee, the gemstone mine in Idar-Oberstein, the Kyrburg, breathtaking panoramas or the open-air inhalatorium in the Salinental. Also, the altitude, especially on the first 50 kilometers, should not be underestimated.

You cannot reach the source near Selbach directly by train, but the train stations Sankt Wendel and Türkismühle are not far away. From there to the mouth you always have the possibility to get on the train. Anyway, the infrastructure along the tour is very well developed. You mostly drive on good cycle paths and you will find enough accommodation options along the route. And if your strength runs out, the hearty Rhineland-Palatinate cuisine with Spießbraten and Krumbierewurscht will strengthen you. At the end of each stage, you can then review the impressions of the day over a delicious glass of wine.
