Day 4 -  Bodenheim/Mainz - Riidesheim-Assmannshausen/Bingen, approx. 38 km/24 mi

Before you cycle along the Rhine you should visit in Mainz the impressive Chagall windows in the St. Stephans church or the Gutenberg museum. You can either follow the calm cycle track on the left bank of the Rhine through fields and meadows or you can visit the worth-seeing village Eltville at the right Rhine bank. Here an excursion leads you to a high-altitude calm valley of the Rhine area to the monastery Eberbach, founded in 1136, that was side-scene for the film "The name of the rose". Then you will reach the most well known wine town of the world: Rudesheim where you will find the "Drosselgasse" with its wine houses. From the Niederwald monument, which you reach with a chair lift, you have a gorgeous view over the Rhine Valley. Your overnight stay is booked in Rudesheim-Assmannshausen or in Bingen on the opposite Rhine bank.

Day 5 -  Rudesheim-Assmannshausen//Bingen - Boppard, approx. 46 km/29 mi
The romantic Central-Rhine valley forms a rural highlight of your journey. The river flows between defiant castles and sunny vineyards through the shale mountains of the Rhine valley. Pass castle Reichenstein and the pictorial castle Sooneck and reach the very old wine village Bacharach. You see Kaub with the castle Pfalzgrafenstein on the island in the Rhine and pass the mythic Loreley. Soon you arrive in Boppard where you spend the night.

Day 6 -  Boppard - Koblenz, approx 21 km/13 mi
lf you would like to get a view of the countryside while sailing on the Rhine and also shorten the stage to Koblerz, you can cover a distance by ship. The cycle track leads you to Spay and Rhens with its richly carved, multicoloured painted timber-framed houses. From the opposite bank the fabulous Marksburg, one of the most splendid castles on the Rhine, greats you. Then you reach Koblenz, the endpoint of your journey. Visit the "Deutsche Eck" a corner at the estuary of the river Mosel, ride up by the aerial ropeway to the impressive fortress Ehrenbreitstein in the evening or mix yourself with the numerous cheerful tipplers, who populate the famous vine village. Overnight in Koblenz.
