On the hottest day of the year so far, I was out and about from 7:30 a.m., when the temperature was still a pleasant 21 degrees Celsius. By the end of the tour, around 11 a.m., it had reached 30 degrees Celsius. From 9 a.m. onward, the bike path became quite crowded in places, mostly with groups of tourists. But …

Sunshine and wind, about 12 degrees. Because of the wind up to 45 km/h in gusts, I once again chose the route in the Rhine Valley. Lots of people were out and about today, Shrove Monday, there was a parade in Oberwesel, everything was parked up along the B9. But with the bike you have no problem.

The Rhine Valley already shimmers green, decorated with white flowers and other colors. You can see on the slopes how high spring has already climbed towards the Hunsrück or Taunus.

At a mild 8 degrees, we cycled the beautiful -and clean- route along the Rhine again. Sure, the photos are just marked by winter and a bit dreary. But that's the way it is...

Today is set to be one of the hottest days of 2022. So I started the tour at around 8 a.m., at 20 degrees, and when I returned to Bingen it was exactly 30 degrees.
Otherwise super clear weather, bright blue sky. Unfortunately, the Rhine has worryingly little water.

Driven one of my favorite routes again. The landscape is very autumnal, but beautiful. The workers on the mountainside near Oberwesel, who are securing the slope there, are once again impressed. Otherwise you notice that there are only a few tourists around.
