Plan for Day 14: Koblenz to Koln: 64.6 miles

Day 14: Koblenz to Koln

After the two short days in the "Romantic Rhine" and with a rest day coming up, this is the perfect time for a slightly longer ride. This will likely be a pretty nice day, with the canyon still pretty dramatic and some interesting history. I'll pass through the town of Remagen, famous for its bridge that was captured by the allies before the Germans could blow it up. I'll also pass through the town of Bonn, capitol of West Germany for almost 50 years.

At the end of the day, I'll hit Koln, with its spectacular cathedral. I'll take a look around, but the majority of the Koln sightseeing will wait until the rest day.
