OTTERSTADT - Worms - ALSHEIM 44.50 miles
During the night heavy rain, but in the morning dry as we left at 9 o'clock. We contemplated going over the ferry at Altrip - travelling via Manheim - but when we saw the traffic building up we changed our mind and turned round choosing Ludwigshafen instead. That was a good decision as we had a marvellous day of cycling through Maudacher Bruchwald, which is a nature reserve and all the time cycling on the Rhine-deich (dike). We saw storks, geese, heard woodpeckers, toads, cuckoos and together with the wonderful scents it was awesome. Yes,we had to go through Ludwigshafen but the signs were excellent. Again we had something else to look forward to..The city of Worms. Founded in Roman times, Worms claims to be Germany's oldest city. Worms masterpiece is of course the cathedral or Dom which we visited in turns. It is beautiful and a picture is above. This cathedral is of course also an UNESCO site.
After Worms we headed for Alsheim cycling on the Rheinterrassen-Radweg. The place we are staying in Alsheim is a winery, and we saw many vineyards on this stretch. Very nice.
