Germany: a place where you can get really tasty beer. Germany: a place where you can also get really tasty wine—and bike along the Mosel River trekking through vineyards as you pass them by.

The steepest vineyard in Europe isn’t all that far from Renaissance Karlsruhe. Bremmer Calmont, a vineyard boasting a 65 degree angle, is steep with history and rich with grapes that make some of the reportedly best Riesling out there. A couple hours on the road from Renaissance Karlsruhe will lead you to this world renowned wine destination that sits atop the sparkling Mosel River, which makes for a biker’s dream ride.
