The local cycle path opens up the delightful valley of the river of the same name in Rhineland-Palatinate. There is a lot to discover along the Nahe: the jewelery city Idar-Oberstein, a charming river valley with vineyards, the spa town Bad Kreuznach and finally the near estuary at the beginning of the Middle Rhine Valley at Bingen.
