Rhine loop for explorers

From the parking lot at the Schützenhaus, we first ride along the Queichtal Cycle Path (white sign with green bicycle and the inscription Queich) along the edge of the forest past the war memorial towards L 540. When reaching L540, we follow the Kraut-und-Rüben Cycle Path (carrot logo) towards Zeiskam. We follow this cycle path through Zeiskam, Lustadt, and Weingarten until we reach Schwegenheim. In Schwegenheim, turn right on the street "Am Bahndamm" after the sports field. We ride along "Am Jahnplatz" street, cross the main road, and then travel south out of Schwegenheim through the fields via "Riedgasse" and "Alte Landauer Straße." After crossing the B272, turn left and then right, always following the agricultural path along the B9 until we reach the main road in Westheim. Turn left on the main road, cross the tracks of the draisine railway, and continue straight ahead heading south. At the town exit, we take the roadside cycle path and reach the Hofgut Holzmühle. Here you can visit the fantastic garden and the private collection that takes visitors on a journey to distant cultures. Afterwards, we continue towards Bellheim. Before Bellheim, we join the Queichtal Cycle Path (green logo with bicycle and inscription Queichtal). We follow this, cross the country road, and proceed on the path to Germersheim. Continuing along the Queichtal Cycle Path, we ride through Germersheim. We pass the City and Fortress Museum and in Zeughausstraße, we meet the Rhine Cycle Path (blue sign with cyclist). This Rhine Cycle Path, also called EuroVelo15, we follow through Germersheim, past the Brick Museum and the lock house near Sondernheim. Behind the lock house, turn right onto the Klingbach Cycle Path (green sign with bell). We follow the Klingbach Cycle Path through Hördt to Rülzheim. At the town exit of Rülzheim, we leave the Klingbach Cycle Path and turn right onto the small hill, following the Tobacco Route (green sign with tobacco plant) towards Bellheim. We follow the Tobacco Route from Bellheim via Knittelsheim to Ottersheim. In Ottersheim, we leave the Tobacco Route and instead follow the Kraut-und-Rüben Cycle Path into Waldstraße. We follow Waldstraße, passing the Ottersheimer Bärenbräu, an ideal stop for cyclists to recharge with a short break. Afterwards, we leave the town along Waldstraße. At the Old Farmers' Barn, we join the Queichtal Cycle Path. We follow this into the forest and reach the Ottersheim division weir. The local Queich meadow irrigation, for which the division weir is used, has been listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. The route continues on the Queichtal Cycle Path through the forest, past the Knittelsheim mill, back to Bellheim to our starting point at the Schützenhaus.
