Via the Schinderhannes cycle path, the former route of the Hunsrück railroad, you go from ZAP Emmelshausen to Pfalzfeld. There you turn left onto the state road and immediately left again in the direction of Nenzhäuserhof. You will soon reach the Pfalzfeld district. Afterwards, the bike route always leads downhill, past the market place Aldegundis to Damscheid. The route continues through the vineyards to Oberwesel/Rhine. The city of towers has a walkable city wall.

Passing the legendary Loreley ("I don't know what it means"), you will reach St. Goar via the cycle path along the Rhine. Visit Rheinfels Castle, the largest castle complex on the Middle Rhine and enjoy the magnificent view into the valley. Not for nothing was the Middle Rhine Valley recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Continue along the Rhine Cycle Path to Boppard, the pearl on the Rhine. The Hunsrück Railway will take you back on one of the steepest railroad lines in Germany.

The Hunsrückbahn can be used all day as a lift. Thus, the start is also possible from the Middle Rhine.

Author’s recommendation

The ride on the Hunsrück Railway is an experience. On the steepest railroad line in Germany without cogwheel drive, it goes back up to the Hunsrück.

Ein landschaftlich reizvolle und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Obwohl es eine "Bergab-Tour" ist, ist sie nicht ganz einfach zu fahren. Zwischen Nenzhäuserhof und Damscheid ist die Wegbeschaffenheit schlecht (Schotterstrecke), dazu mit ordentlichem Gefälle. Aussichten, schöne Rastplätze, die Strecke auf der Bahntrasse und entlang des Rheins entschädigen die Mühe! Schön ist auch die Fahrt mit der Hunsrückbahn auf die Höhe zurück. Zu beachten ist jedoch: Der Bahnhof in Boppard ist nicht barrierefrei! Es gibt keinen Aufzug, das Rad/E-Bike muss über Treppenstufen hinauf auf den Bahnsteig getragen werden.

Sehr schön abwechslungsreiche Tour: auf ehemaliger Bahnstrecke, durch den Wald nach Damscheid, durch das vergessene Niederbachtal, am Rhein entlang und zum Schluss das Highlight mit der Hunsrückbahn steil durch Tunnel und Brücken wieder hinauf nach Emmelshausen. Super Tour. Mache ich auf jeden Fall nochmal.
