Sürth (Cologne district/North Rhine-Westphalia) - Koblenz (district/Rhineland-Palatinate)
Don't get me wrong if I'm complaining. I'd like to say more positive things, but they're quite rare. But they do exist. Just not while driving. We know the roads are getting better, though, just not when, since I haven't been here myself yet.
This morning, while I was still half asleep, I …

June 22, 2025,Von Köln nach Rüdesheim, Tag 1

Since the elevator to platform 9 at Cologne Central Station wasn't operating, I started from Cologne Ehrenfeld. Today, I cycled along the beautiful Rhine to Neuwied. The Rhine Cycle Path is perfect for cycling, passing through small woods every now and then (it was nice to cool off today) but still keeping the Rhine in view. I'm still totally excited …

I didn't find the way in Sinzig because the cycle path is still closed due to the Ahr flood.
If you're at Kaufland, don't follow the bike signpost, because at some point you couldn't go any further. A nice lady then guided me through Sinzig. But you can see that on the route. 🚴‍♀️😂

Today's 48th stage covered 102.61 kilometers from Koblenz to Bonn.

After starting at the Koblenz Police Headquarters and a quick visit to the Deutsches Eck, I briefly crossed the Moselle and then returned to the left-bank section of the Rhine Cycle Route toward Bonn.

I have rarely seen such bad cycle paths on this stretch up the Rhine.
Roots breaking through the cycle paths, so bumpy that you soon need a full suspension bike.
No wonder more and more cyclists are riding on the road.
Soaking wet greetings from the Rhine...
