Cycling Tours
In the Rhineland cycling region, you can experience nature in close proximity to the big cities. Whether on a bike tour through wide forests and meadows, on themed routes or on the Rhenish panorama tours. The Rhineland cycling region has a lot to offer for nature lovers. The Erft Cycle Path offers a great mix of Historic Towns, impressive Castles and the enchanting City of Cologne, with its famous Cathedral and beautiful Old Town, which is an ideal starting and finishing point for your bike tour. Tour Profile Level 1: The route runs almost exclusively on paved bike and dam paths or on quiet country roads. Direct driving in traffic rarely occurs. Only on the routes away from the rivers are there occasional small climbs to overcome.
