Gravel Rallye Rhine Valley

Gravel Rallye Rhine Valley is a three-day gravel bike event based in Eichstetten am Kaiserstuhl, near Freiburg in Baden-Württemberg. It takes place in May as an early-season stop in the Gravel Rallye Series, offering route options from 65 km up to 300 km. The location is the Kaiserstuhl, a volcanic massif in Germany’s warmest region, meaning the riding combines wine country, small villages, and rougher gravel terrain rather than a single road-race style course. The routes pass through vineyard terraces, wine-growing villages, sunken lanes cut through volcanic ground, forest tracks, gravel roads, meadow paths, and sections of old asphalt. Some loops extend toward Alsace, adding a border-country atmosphere between the Rhine Valley, the Black Forest, the Vosges, Freiburg, and eastern France. Riders can anticipate repeated climbs and descents, quick corners, open 360-degree views, and a selection between shorter gravel days and much longer endurance distances.
