Vacationland Plains of the Rhine

Between them, there are individual farms and quaint villages with half-timbered houses, and the occasional stretch of woodland. The land lives from agriculture since the fertile soils ensure a cornucopia of culinary pleasures. 80 different vegetables alone ripen here, potatoes mature much faster than elsewhere in Germany thanks to the southern climate, and white asparagus is a much sought-after delicacy in spring. Creative cooks will find everything they need for fresh food preparation, visitors can buy as much as the trunks of their cars will hold at farms and street stalls. Germany's first tobacco plants were cultivated in the district of Germersheim in 1573 and tobacco barns belong to the landscape to this day. And when visitors cycle along the tobacco paths in the Southern Palatinate, they may even encounter storks in the adjacent fields. This vegetable paradise is flanked by the Rhine River, which not only delivers fresh ingredients for delicious fish dishes, but also a landscape of incomparable beauty: the meadowlands with their luscious vegetation, enticing excavation ponds, and the dreamy arms of the old Rhine. Decide for yourself whether you would rather go swimming, sailing, canoeing, or simply lie in the sun - all are possible and what gives this sun-drenched region its southern flair. It is for good reason that one of the most popular local recreation areas in the Rhine-Palatinate district is called "The Blue Adriatic". Speyer, the over 2000 year-old free imperial city, enchants through its combination of living history and buoyant present. In addition to other cultural monuments, Speyer is home to a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, the mighty cathedral with its emperors' tombs, founded in 1030 by the Salier Conrad II. Maximilianstrasse, Speyer's promenade, exudes much of the Palatinate way of life with its almost Mediterranean-style flair, the lively comings and goings in its cafés and shops, and the graceful charm of its Baroque houses. This is the perfect place to get in the mood for a bicycle tour along the river, an excursion to the Wine Route, or a cycling trip past the fortified city of Germersheim down to the French border.
