The Barbarossa Cycleway is an 88-kilometre-long (55 mi) cycle path in Germany that links the North Palatine Uplands to the old imperial city of Worms on the River Rhine. It passes through the largely level but varied landscape of the Palatinate region before it reaches the vineyards of the Rhine Plain. It thus links the Glan-Blies Cycleway via the Barbarossa city of Kaiserslautern with the Rhine Cycleway. The whole route is uniformly signed with the cycleway logo, which portrays a stylised Emperor Barbarossa. The figure of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa at the north portal of Worms Cathedral was used as the prototype. Several sections have been left natural, so the cycleway is not suitable for racing bicycles or inline skates.

Open the designer and the real Barbarossa Cycleway becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
