Gravellen langs de Rijn en door de heuvels van Mainz
De eerste kilometers fiets ik door Mainz. Met fietsvriendelijke straten en een ommetje langs de oude haven voelt de start op een fijne manier meer urban aan dan de afgelopen dagen. Na zo’n 7,5 kilometer laat ik de stad alsnog achter me en fiets ik naar de Rijn. Wat volgt…

Dwars door bossen en heuvels van het Rheinhessische Schweiz
Vanuit Alzey duik ik vrijwel direct over lokale gravelpaadjes het groen in. De eerste kilometers gaan over graspaden, gravel en kleine singletracks, waarna ik via een stevige kasseienklim de eerste wijngaarden induik. Deze doet me denken aan de Vlaamse voorjaarsklassiekers, maar dat is niet het enige dat anders voelt dan…

From Alzey, I dive almost immediately into the greenery via local gravel paths. The first few kilometers are over grass paths, gravel, and small singletracks, after which I dive into the first vineyards via a sturdy cobblestone climb. This reminds me of the Flemish spring classics, but that is not the

Gravellen tussen de wijnranken en heuvels rondom Worms
Vanaf station Worms ben ik nog maar anderhalve kilometer onderweg, wanneer de stad al uit het zicht verdwijnt. Een gravelpad langs de Primm voert me vrijwel ongemerkt via een park naar landerijen buiten de stad. Dat ik de stad zo snel achter me zou laten had ik vooraf niet verwacht.

From Worms station, I am only one and a half kilometers into my ride when the city already disappears from view. A gravel path along the Primm leads me almost unnoticed through a park to farmland outside the city. I hadn't expected to leave the city behind so quickly.
Not long after, I dive into the first

The day is drawing to a close, and so is my exploration of picturesque Rheinhessen. The final tour couldn't be more beautiful: it's off to the Harxheimer Panoramaweg. A small, relaxed loop that promises plenty of variety and dreamlike views. And it delivers! 🌄
The 660 bus takes me from Mainz Main Station

My exploration tour in beautiful Rheinhessen continues. Today on the RheinTerrassenWeg. For starters, I've decided to tackle the first stage – precisely. It begins with an access path in Worms. From the train station, I'll naturally make a short detour to the Cathedral, because it's absolutely worth

From my basecamp in Mainz, I'm heading out to Saulheim today at an almost inhuman hour. The autumn weather predicts rain for midday – motivation enough to tackle the “Hiwweltour Saulheimer Hölle” right at sunrise. 🌄
The Hiwweltour starts at the Bürgerhaus Saulheim, not far from the train station. From

The first few kilometers I cycle through Mainz. With bike-friendly streets and a detour along the old harbor, the start feels pleasantly more urban than the past few days. After about 7.5 kilometers, I leave the city behind and cycle towards the Rhine. What follows is a long, quiet gravel section along
