Through wine country and wine towns of the Deidesheim holiday region
Discover the Deidesheim holiday region at a relaxed pace by bicycle. The comfortable route mainly follows the Reben-Rüben-Runde between Deidesheim and Wachenheim, passing through wine towns, vineyard landscapes, and fields.
Experience the Deidesheim holiday region from the saddle of your bike! This enjoyable bike route connects all charming wine towns of the Deidesheim holiday region with the towns Deidesheim, Forst a. d. Weinstraße, Meckenheim/Pfalz, Niederkirchen, Ruppertsberg and invites you to an exciting discovery tour through the cultural landscape of the Palatinate.
You cycle through vineyard landscapes, wide fields and blooming meadows. Orchard plantations line the way. Time and again the view opens – sometimes on the gentle hills of the Palatinate Forest, sometimes towards the Rhine plain up to the Odenwald.
The route is mainly on the barrier-free Reben-Rüben-Runde – ideal for pleasure cyclists, families and everyone who wants to experience the landscape with all their senses.
