Pleasure cycling on the Rhine

The best first:

Our certified “Bett & Bike” hotel is located directly on the Rhine cycle path! This beautiful EuroVelo 15 long-distance cycle path, which is 1200 km long, has also been accessible continuously between Rüdesheim and Lorch since July 2023. The best conditions for your unforgettable bike tour through the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley!

Anyone who has ever been on the Rhine cycle path knows that euphoria immediately sets in. It's simply wonderful: the mighty Rhine flows on one side, the excursion steamers and cruise ships chug past you and the islands covered in green trees wave from the middle of the river. On the other side you can marvel at the pretty vineyards and the small wine-growing towns invite you to take a stop.

We are bike friendly hosts

Our hotel was chosen by the ADFC - General German Bicycle Club - as the outstanding bicycle-friendly hotel in the state of Hesse. “Bett+Bike” presents this special award and seal of quality from the ADFC together with the Hessen agency.

A very special highlight in the early morning is our energy breakfast, which gives cyclists and hikers strength for a sporty day's program. You put together your own packed lunches at the buffet.

As bike-friendly hosts, we are happy about the newly opened Rhine cycle path near Lorch am Rhein in July 2023 and include a free day for our rental bikes for everyone who doesn't have their own bike with them!
