Rheinaue Park Bonn

Highlight • Natural

The extensive park was laid out in 1979 for the Federal Garden Show and is the scene of many events such as the beer exchange, Rhine culture, artificial turf, flea markets and the Rhine in Flames. The paved paths are wonderful for cycling.

Rheinradweg Section at Seven Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new (unfortunately short) section of the Rhine cycle path is very well done. It is a comfortable width and is well lit. I also think the markings at the playground and the crossings are good.

Schmelztal Serpentine

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The road through the Schmeltztal high to Aegidienberg is very good to drive despite much traffic and depending on how good the legs are you can pop up very quickly. Particularly noteworthy would be the BFT gas station in Aegidienberg which is actually a pub with sky and plenty of 1st FC Cologne ambience

The archway of the baroque gate house from 1750 is the well-preserved entrance to the monastery property.

Because of an unexplained 'heart', initially flat to Bad Honnef. Then Schmelztal up to Aegidienberg. Back via Thomasberg, Vinxel; PützchensChaussee down to Beuel. Over the old railway line to the Rhine. Back to the starting point, at the 'Haribo-Schiff', via the new bike expressway.
