Description

Very very touristic...a bit too much indeed. this road is overcrowded, but, and despite the lack of curves, this road is worth riding it for its calm and the romantism of its landscapes.

You will ride along the Rhine from beginning till the end, facing some interesting sites like the Lorelei rock and Katz castle.
