Loop
Beautiful 5-lake cycle path in the Westerwald.
This long-distance road cycling loop is a major endurance challenge, connecting five scenic lakes in the Palatinate region. The route is almost entirely paved, guiding Rennrad (road bike) enthusiasts through the flat landscape of the Rhine plain. Expect to travel on quiet country roads and dedicated Radwege (cycle paths), passing the Silbersee, Binsfeld, Kief'weiher, Wammsee, and Jägerweiher. The difficulty comes purely from the significant distance, not from climbing, making it a test of pure endurance.
