Beautiful cycle route between Ginsheim and the Gustavsburg industrial park, far from the car, always along or on the embankment.

Old Rhine Dike Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very, very good surface, looks like a racetrack. Perfect as a flat piece for racing bikes.

Cycle path along the main dike and the Old Rhine

Highlight • Cycleway

Here, you can compete with the racing cyclists for many kilometers on the best asphalt ;-). Riding away from the road in what is admittedly a rather desolate landscape has something almost meditative about it.
