Towpath on the Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

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.

If you want to get to know the Rheingau, you should visit Eltville rather than Rüdesheim.
We recommend treating yourself to a Riesling at the wine tasting stand (on the Promenade) and gazing at the Rhine, lost in thought.

The "Sang" path is overgrown and therefore impassable. A short detour via the Rheinhöhenweg leads to the Sanger Chaussee and finally to the country road.
