The area served by the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund is beautiful, with countless sights and diverse landscapes. The rolling Wetterau hills, the Spessart forests, the idyllic Odenwald, and lively cities such as Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Fulda and Giessen are all just a short train ride away, so you can easily reach wonderful landscapes. You can also take your bike on RMV public transport free of charge. However, note that prams and wheelchairs have priority.
Getting to know different landscapes on a bike Tour is always a great experience. Whether you ride a gravel, touring, road or mountain bike, you’ll find a suitable route in our region. In this Collection, we present six Tours that offer something for every cyclist and ability, with a variety of surfaces.
Fly down the flow trail on the Feldberg on your mountain bike, experience a bikepacking adventure from Frankfurt to Fulda, or take your road bike for a quick spin along the banks of the Main. The Lahn Valley is also a wonderful place to cycle. Wherever you want to go, RMV will be happy to take you there.
Conveniently, all Tours start and end at railway stations. If the beer garden is too cosy, the weather changes, or you simply don't feel like riding anymore, you can change your plans on a whim as a station is always closeby. We've included additional information about the stations in the Tour descriptions, so you can be as flexible as possible. Some Tours are loops, but we've also made sure that the routes from A to B are easy to get to and from by bus and train. With the D-Ticket, you can travel anywhere in the region.

So leave your car behind, grab your bike, and join us. We'll get you there!
