Alice! Guess what? We did it! Well, the Rhine Cycle Route! 1500 km through 4 countries It took us a full 5 weeks, and was totally worth it! We set off from Andermatt, with a 10-kilometer climb to the Oberalppass. The views up there were literally breathtaking.
We crossed Chur, reached Lake Constance, and took the opportunity to visit Reichenau. Lisa made it her mission to take a dip at every stop we made. Haha no, of course not at the Rhine Falls. The current there was just too strong! We followed the French section of the route through
Alsace. We reached Strasbourg and had a wonderful time visiting the Grande-île. A Unesco site with a truly European atmosphere! We crossed the Rhine and carried on northwards. Matthias insisted we crossed it again to visit Speyer. We then made our way back to the right bank just in front
Of Biebrich Castle. Right past Bingen, we got into the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Little did I know Germany was hiding such a treasure! We stopped by Falkenlust and Augustusburg before reaching Cologne. Matthias spent hours looking at the ceiling of the cathedral, wondering how its vaults could
Support so much weight. An engineer? Haha, maybe! Katrina was busy for another few days taking pictures of the Rhine-Ruhr industrial heritage. I’ll be sure to send you a few – her shots are amazing! We made our way into the Netherlands, visited Doorwerth Castle and crossed the waterways of Biesbosch to
Kinderdijk. Lisa asked how much wind it would take for a windmill to take off. Or is she the future engineer? Anyway. We ended our trip with a well-deserved rest at the beach. A metro ride to Rotterdam, and happily back home! Frankly, it’s a EuroVelo trip you absolutely must do! What about your holiday?
