Maps and trails
The geographical location of Spay is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or canoeing along the river. The best seasons for this are spring and summer. A bicycle tour along the wine terraces with a breathtaking view of the Rhine is particularly recommended.

Touristically relevant sights in Spay include the 14th century Martinsburg Castle and the historic old town with its half-timbered houses. Another highlight is the Lahneck Castle, which is enthroned above Lahnstein and offers a fantastic view over the valley.

Cultural highlights are above all the annual wine festival in August as well as various concerts and theatre performances as part of the town's cultural programme.

If it rains, a visit to the nearby volcano park in Plaidt or a tour of one of the many museums in the region, such as the Roman-Germanic Central Museum in Mainz or the Museum Ludwig Koblenz, is worthwhile.

In addition to the numerous tourist attractions, Spay also has much to offer in the way of culinary delights - you should definitely try its excellent wines in particular! But regional specialities such as "Spayer Senf" or "Koblenzer Sauerbraten" should also be on your culinary to-do list.

Where is the most beautiful in Spay? That's hard to say, as every visitor has their own favourites. But a picnic in the castle park or a boat trip on the Rhine are certainly unforgettable experiences.

Overall, Spay is definitely worth a trip and offers something for every taste - be it nature, culture or culinary. This travel guide will help you make the most of your stay here!

    Schöne Tour, trotz des steilen Anstiegs am Anfang. Besonders die Passage an den Weinbergshängen entlang mit der Aussicht über das Rheintal war toll. Wenn das Hotel mal wieder aufgebaut ist und der Kaffee hier bezahlbar ist, eine gute Pausenstation. Bei heißem Wetter aber wohl nicht zu empfehlen.

    Bei blauem Himmel und Sonne pur waren wir auf diesem Traumpfad unterwegs. Der Weg hat uns gut gefallen. Vor allem die vielen Pfade haben uns gut gefallen. Leider konnten wir die römische Wasserleitung nicht besichtigen. Eine Besichtigung ist nur Sonntags von Mai bis Oktober möglich. Wir konnten aber von außen hineinschauen. Da kommen wir doch gerne noch mal wieder.

    Wir hatten das Glück an dem ,schon fast sommerlichen, ersten Märzwochende 2025 diese Tour zu machen. Die Tour ist sehr schön,abwechslungsreich und mit vielen,liebevoll ausgestatteten Rastplätzen ausgestattet. Auf Höhe des Jakobushofes ist ein Wegweiser verdreht-aufpassen! Die Aussichten auf den Rhein und die Marksburg sind einzigartig.

    Ich habe die Tour dieses Mal gegen die Laufrichtung gemacht und mich über neue Perspektiven gefreut. Einfallslos fand ich lediglich den Abschnitt zwischen Sportplatz und Jakobuskloster. Da kann man mehr machen. Ansonsten gute Abwechslung auch bei winterlichen Verhältnissen mit schönen Ausblicken. Leider fehlten einige Infotafeln am Rhein - wahrscheinlich wegen Instandsetzung. An einem Mittwoch war ich alleine unterwegs...

    Schöner Spaziergang. Lässt sich gut mit dem Traumpfad Rheingoldbogen kombinieren, wenn man Zeit und Muße für eine größere Runde hat. Zumindest empfehle ich sehr, noch das Stück weiter am Rhein entlang/durch die Weinberge zu gehen und ggf. auf gleichem Weg zurück auf das Traumpfädchen.

    Steil aber sehr schön. Viele Aussichtspunkte und einfach harmonische Orte zum innehalten. Mit Hund auf jeden Fall Wasser mit nehmen. Es gibt auf dem ganzen Weg keine Möglichkeit zum trinken aus zB Bächen.

    Wunderschöner Rundweg mit atemberaubenden Aussichten. Viele Rastmöglichkeiten, was nach den zum Teil steilen Anstiegen ein Segen ist. Absolut machbar für „Untrainierte“.
