We continue our cycle tour on EuroVelo 15 up the Rhine from Remagen (just south of Bonn) through the beautiful Rhine Gorge and on to the city of Karlsruhe, close to the border with France. We're on a quest to cycle from the North Sea to the Adriatic via EV 15, EV 6 and the Cyclovia Alpe Adria Radweg.
This episode has some great scenery and some interesting searches for campgrounds and hotels!
Don't miss "Retro Night" in the city of Speyer!
Useful Resources:
For EuroVelo 15 we used the Cicerone book "The Rhine Cycle Route" by Mike Wells and found it very useful. It has detailed maps and interesting background information too. The maps were particularly useful when the trail signage wasn't enough. I have used some of these maps in this video series.
The official EuroVelo website is another handy resource of course, and for those using GPS navigation, it provides gpx files for the various routes. [ Ссылка ]
For navigation, we did not use any high-tech GPS systems, relying instead on route signage, the book "The Rhine Cycle Route" (Kindle version) and a useful free overview map of EV 15 that I picked up in a tourist office. For other route-finding to campgrounds, grocery shops, etc, we used the Maps.Me phone application which you can use offline.
We did not have local phone sim cards so our use of Google maps and other online resources was limited to when we had wifi access at campgrounds, grocery shops and restaurants.
