The towpath is easy to cycle along, but it is too busy on weekends and public holidays. You should also find out beforehand whether there is currently high water. If so, it will flood quickly.

In my opinion, the towpaths are more attractive today than they used to be, as such beautiful trees could only grow after the ships no longer had to be pulled. More about towpaths, not just on the Rhine: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leinpfad

The cycle path along the Rhine is ideally developed and very easy to ride. You also have a beautiful view of the Rhine and the vineyards.
