The rhine cycle route

A guide to cycling the Rhine Cycle Route from source to sea with full route descriptions and comprehensive maps. It is described over 27 stages that take between two and three weeks to complete. From the high Swiss Alps, a series of national cycle trails, waymarked as EuroVelo route 15 (EV15), lead to the North Sea, passing through six countries (Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and Holland). Much of the route is on dedicated cycle tracks, mostly asphalt surfaced with some sections on hard compacted gravel. The route traverses stunning scenery, including the castle-studded Rhine gorge between Mainz and Cologne, and visits many historic towns and cities.
