Travel literature about cycling along the Rhine

Travel literature about cycling along the Rhine - Man Fixing His Bike

I'm looking for traveling literature that covers the topic of cycling along the Rhine river. There are a lot of books, but I couldn't find any that covers all my needs:

  • It should be written in English and/or German
  • It should be specifically about cycling
  • It should cover the whole Rhine river from Lago Toma to Rotterdam and not just parts of it. I also do not want multiple volumes.
  • It should be as cheap as possible.
  • It shouldn't be heavy.
  • It should also contain some hints about sights in the immediate perimeter of the Rhine.


Best Answer

On Everytrail there is one person who set out a route. (like @Dirty-flow) He mentions Rhein-Radweg 1, Rhein-Radweg 2 and Rhein-Radwg 3.

If you are in to apps, I would recommend the Everytrail app, as an alternative to a set of books
