Eltville's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

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 absolutely impressive cathedral goes back to designs by Archbishop Willigis in 975. Since then, the church has been the victim of fires, lightning strikes and sieges. The cathedral has …

Heidenfahrt Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Always beautiful again: cozy benches with a view of the Rhine. In summer, there is gastronomy next door and usually a stand with fresh fruit. And all year round, the restaurant behind the dike.

The Zollburg Pfalzgrafenstein stands on a Rhine island in the amount of the wine village Kaub. From Kaub can be translated with a passenger ferry to the island. A visit is highly recommended and becomes a lasting memory.

July 8, 2023,Oh du wunderschöner deutscher Rhein🚲☀️💪🍻

"Oh you beautiful German Rein"
Today I wanted to ride the new cycle path, Rüdesheim in the direction of Kaub, which is finally finished after years of construction.
At the moment there are many festivals on the Rhine in Schierstein is the harbor festival at the old loading crane and in Rüdesheim there is a street food festival. Had to …

May 11, 2024,Plattfuß am Reihn aber trotzdem schön

Today I wanted to go for a relaxed ride.
It started in Mainz Gonsenheim via Schiersteiner Hafen towards Rheingau,
past Eltville Rüdesheim,
Assmannshausen, Lorch towards Kaub.
Unfortunately, I was hit by a defect on the cycle highway towards Lorchhausen.
There was a wooden stapler staple in the tire.
When I removed it, I continued driving.
Unfortunately, without success, after about …

In the end we ran out of time, which is why we had to hurry a little for the RB back to Mainz.

August 23, 2024,Mainz - St. Goarshausen

Today the weather is perfect for cycling. 25 degrees, a light breeze and hardly any elevation gain. I end up in Bingen, from where I take the Rhine ferry over to Rüdesheim. I actually wanted to do this without my bike and panniers, but there was no way to get them. The public transport was all broken and the station …

July 18, 2022,Etappe 9* Mainz - St. Goar

We cycle to the cathedral again to photograph Annemarie's crown prince 😉 with the cathedral. The cell phone is ready for photos again. The friendly "Mainzelmännchen" at the traffic lights are a really nice idea. The city exit is like everywhere very tedious and not stimulating. We cross the Rhine again, but this time comfortably on a bridge.
In Eltville …

May 23, 2023,Rheinradtour 2023 - Tag zwölf: Von Bodenheim über Mainz-Ingelheim-Bingen-Bacharach nach St. Goar

What a beautiful stage 👍! The routing through Mainz is very well done - praise to the cycle path planners - then you drive quite a lot directly along the Rhine, through endless, interestingly designed allotment gardens, many rural dyke areas with orchards, pretty villages/towns. And then along come the vineyards. The winegrowers work like ants on the steep slopes! …
