Cycling tour 7: Mainz - Großer Sand- Lennebergwald- Turm Mainz - Heidesheim - Ingelheim


Start: Mainz “Römisches Theater”
Lenght:
Character: Mainly paved or well maintained forest paths, some climbs depending on selected route at the Lenneberg. Some sandy (get the desert feeling) streches to Heidesheim
Recommended equipment: Mountainbike :-), Tourbike :-|

The
Lenneberg Wald is one of the most wonderful forests with the best trails in the area. There is no real work around industrial areas to get there, but it is definitely worth the ride. Coming up from Mombach you will pass the natural reserve “Großer Sand”. Do plan a stop in the center of the forest at the “Turm Mainz” for a refreshment and good food and later stroll around the Waldschloß. Look for the passage underneath the Autobahn A60 to get to Heidesheim and stay in the wine yard paths along the water supply built by “Karl the Great“ to Ingelheim where the Kaiserpfalz is worth a visit. Return on a flat track along the Rhine to Mainz.
