ラインガウゲビルゲでののおすすめグラベルライド

The great bike paths are before and after this section, which is more or less a forest path. Something for gravel enthusiasts.

This section of the Rhine Cycle Route is one of the most popular routes in the Rheingau – and for good reason. The route takes you directly along the Rhine, nestled between idyllic vineyards and historic sites.

The cable car's gondolas float elegantly over the sun-drenched vineyards of Rüdesheim – at a height of about 15 meters, they glide almost silently through the vines. In the background, the Rhine Valley stretches out, with its shimmering river, historic castles like Ehrenfels, and the striking Mouse Tower. The town of Rüdesheim lies picturesquely on the banks, framed by vineyards and half-timbered houses – a scene like something out of a romantic painting. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the estuary of the Nahe near Bingen and the heights of the Hunsrück.

The view of the Nahe estuary and Bingen is a scenic jewel at the junction of two river worlds – the gentle Nahe and the majestic Rhine.

Around 1100: Founded as a Benedictine monastery. 1716: After destruction during the Thirty Years' War, the Prince-Bishop of Mainz purchased the ruins and had the baroque Johannisberg Palace built on the same site. Owners included the Prince-Abbots of Fulda and later the Prince of Metternich. Famous for the origin of the Spätlese (late harvest): In 1775, a delayed harvest was permitted for the first time → discovery of noble rot (Botrytis) → one of the most important moments in winemaking history! One of the oldest Riesling wineries in the world. Approximately 50 hectares of vineyards, exclusively Riesling. Specialty: high-quality Prädikat wines (Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Eiswein). Many vintages are among the top wines of the Rheingau.

A very beautiful old piece of history. The Mapper Schanze is the last remaining gateway through the so-called Rheingauer Gebück, a type of defensive hedge that was planted around the entire Rheingau region.

The view of Johannisberg Castle from the Märzackerweg is a true Rheingau highlight – perfect for connoisseurs, photographers, and cyclists with a sense of aesthetics.
