* There are
some old towns nearby worth a visit like Worms, Speyer,
Freiburg and Strasbourg. The last one really is worth a visit, and
you have even been to France/Alsace :)
Ahem. Hiedelberg? The jewel of the Neckar ? Also, the Odenwald is not far away, for hilly
hiking/cycling.
I have grown in the Odenwald, and I think there are much more
interesting mountains/regions in germany like the Franconian
Switzerland:

Besides the many breweries, there are nice rocks (usually crowded by
japanese freeclimbers ;-) , nice caves, villages, old churches, there's
Bayreuth and Sanspareil:

--p (remembering his glory days as one of the
odenwald's first
mountain bikers back in 1986)
...maybe for your next bike trip :) ?
