Guten morgen! So the Rhine cruise on KD line is perfect for Eurailpass hikers and bikers. This is how we did it...
1. Camp in Cologne (Koln) and board the 9:30 am ship to Bad Honningen. Arrive at 3:25 pm.
2. Camp in Bad Honningen. Camp is nice and right at the dock where you get off ship. Wi-fi and a super nice little town and lots of time for a swim in the chilly Rhine.
3. Next morning board the KD ship at 8:05 am to Mainz. The bread truck arrives to the office at 7:50, so get some fresh rolls for the ship before boarding since you will be on it until 7:30 pm.
4. Beautiful views of the castles and natural beauty along the way. When you get off in Mainz, you can get to the campsite by crossing the big bridge to the island and using the pedestrian walkway. About a 25 minute walk. The campsite is roomy and beautiful. Make sure you enjoy the culinary delights of Chef Johann Nemitz at the outdoor restaurant next door. He makes the best vegetable pasta with cream sauce I have EVER had. Resonable prices too.
5. Next day walk the 300 meters to Mainz-Kastel station to main connections.
Everyone should take advantage of this Eurail Pass bonus. It would have cost almost $400 if I bought Rhine Cruise tickets.
