Biking

The German Wine Route cycle path is just under 100 kilometres long, from Bockenheim to Schweigen-Rechtenbach at the German Wine Gate. For its entire length, the cycle path runs along the western edge of the Rhine plain and crosses the stream valleys of the Palatinate Forest, gentle wine country, lush orchards - a constant up and down with sometimes short but steep crests to overcome.

Cyclists will find relaxation and refreshment in the countless winegrowers' estates, where not only excellent wines but also regional delicacies of all levels are served. Those interested in history can make a stop at the numerous castles and palaces in the region, including Trifels Castle or Villa Ludwigshöhe Castle.
