EuroVelo 15 | Rhine Cycle Route | Millingen to Remagen | North Sea to Adriatic Cycle Tour | Ep2

Our 2022 Sea to Sea cycle tour continues as we ride up the River Rhine route on EuroVelo 15 from the town of Millingen on the Netherlands/German border, through Duisburg, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Bonn, ending the episode in the small town of Remagen. This section is known as the Lower Rhine, and although parts are very industrial, we enjoyed lots of open countryside and good pathways, but experienced some trials finding campgrounds - real ones that is! 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. https://en.eurovelo.com/#routes-and-c... 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.
