Highlight • Cycleway

It's not wide but it's still very nice and shaded by a lot of trees. I really like this cycle path and a few of my friends independently from another said that it is a nice cycle path.

Heidenfahrt Riverside Promenade

Highlight • River

Always beautiful again: cozy benches with a view of the Rhine. In summer, there is gastronomy next door and usually a stand with fresh fruit. And all year round, the restaurant behind the dike.

April 6, 2026,🚴‍♀️Wiesbaden - Alt Ingelheim - Selztal Radweg - Mainz - Wiesbaden

On about 40% of the tour, I explored new paths.
The Selzbach Radweg cycle path was really nice.
The climbs around Ober Olm were tough.

According to the plan, 74.4 km were indicated.
In reality, it was around 80 km,
for which I was on tour for 6 hours.
