The two long climbs are demanding, long and steep. There are not many resupply options in between them, so come prepared. The riding here is tough, but rewarding. The last stretch takes you along the Rhein river and through some picturesque villages, where you'll find plenty of cosy cafés to replenish lost energy.

The section between Esch and Eschenhahn is challenging, but the rest is fast rolling and simply enjoyable. After reaching the highest point, a fast section through the Aar valley takes you to the bustling town of Limburg, ideal for a coffee stop.

A good mix of long, steady climbs and fast-rolling sections. This loop will show you the variety of the Rheingau region. On the flat section along the river, there are some nice resupply options, especially in Eltville.
