Time to enjoy cycling For some, happiness in life is on the back of a horse, but the cycle paths along the Rhine provide the finest conditions for those who are firm in the saddle when it comes to biking. With the glittering waves of the Rhine as a neighbour, the cycle paths run through Boppard and are well signposted. At the same time, they offer a pleasant point of departure for making discoveries on two wheels. Whether we want a comfortable roll or strenuously put the kilometres behind us, we always have the superlative landscape in view. As far as the mountain bike routes are concerned, the route takes us over rough terrain through the Stadtwald, and it's here that quick reac-tions 18 and plenty of muscle is needed. Those who feel they want to belong to the real professionals in this sport should try the Downhill/Freeride section from Vierseen-blick high above Boppard. Adrenalin and the experience of the countryside racing by take place here as quickly as the gears on the bike are changed!

For those who aspire to challenges, the mountain bike routes around Boppard are there for taking.
