    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.

    Roadbook

    Start at the building of the Verbandsgemeinde Deidesheim. For the most part, the described route follows the "Reben-Und-Rüben-Rund":
    Turn into Heckenackerweg past the Gästehaus Deidesheim. Cross Niederkirchener Straße, continue straight ahead into Steingasse until leaving Deidesheim. Using the crossing aid, continue on the bike path to Forst/Wstr. Before the first houses (opposite Deidesheimer Weg), turn left into the vineyards to continue. Follow the markings past the gardens into Elsterweg, turn right onto Freundstückweg. At the Spindler restaurant, turn left onto Weinstraße and continue. A few meters further, turn right onto Pfarracker towards the wine tasting station. Use the pedestrian ramp and cross the bypass road. Continue opposite and turn left towards the Lucas and Margarethenhof wineries. Continue towards the Forst cemetery. Circle around it and gently uphill to Wachenheim/Wstr. Turn right onto the first street (Bahnhofstraße). Continue over the railway tracks into the vineyards. Slight left always following the bike markings. Then cross the bypass road B271 on the right and turn right. Through the vineyards and meadow areas, continue south to Niederkirchen Kaiser-Konrad-Pfalz. Here turn onto Friedelsheimer Straße. Ride past the Niederkirchen winemakers association. At the intersection turn right and a few meters later turn left into Saarstraße, then continue into Singgasse. Then turn left into Im Kirchgarten. A stop at St. Martin Church is recommended. Turn right into Rohrweihenweg and ride past fields until the end of the town. Head towards Meckenheim and turn left. You reach the first houses of Meckenheim/Pfalz, cross L528. Continue to Im Kirchgarten and turn right into In der Froschau.  Turn into Hauptstraße and cross it to the village square. Continue behind the barrels through Brunnengasse. Turn right into Kreuzpfad onto Bahnhofstraße. Turn right into Bahnhofstraße and continue crossing the intersection into Heerstraße. Continue until the end. (You leave the Reben-Rüben-Runde signage.) Follow the simple bike signage (green bike on white background). Cross the main road (L519) and ride on "Bergweg" towards Ruppertsberg, always with a view of Haardt / Palatinate Forest. The route turns right about 400 meters after crossing B271. Continue on Speyer Weg to the houses of Ruppertsberg. Turn right onto Haßlocher Straße into Forststraße. Cross the main street into Mittelgasse to the village square in Ruppertsberg. A stop and visit to St. Martin Church is also worthwhile here. Turn left onto Raiffeisenstraße into Im Schloßgarten. Continue to the town limits and turn right onto Bahnhofstraße towards Deidesheim. At the intersection by the Alla Hopp facility, turn into Wasgau. Through the railway underpass, turn directly right into Finkenweg and reach again your starting point, the Verbandsgemeinde administration of Deidesheim.
