Numerous vineyards on both sides of the river and breathtaking natural landscapes will constantly accompany you and promise delightful cycle tours. On this bike trip you follow a more than 2000 year old Roman history, in the true sense of the word. Thereby you cycle through historical cities and charming villages. On this special variation of the Moselle bike tour you will discover the fruity Moselle wines in very detail. You will have chance to do so not only during your cycle tours, but also in the evening when you will be accommodated at wineries. The wine-makers for sure will have a lot of interesting information for you while showing their wine cellars!
Trier is regarded as the oldest city of Germany. Numerous Roman monuments are omnipresent. Your accommodation is located directly inside the vineyards very close to Trier in the so-called Ruwer valley. Your rental bikes will be stored in the hotel.
Before you start along the Moselle you should schedule some time to visit the well-known amphitheater as well as the Porta Nigra. An educational trail along your route reports on domestic grape variety. Neumagen-Dhron became the oldest wine village in Germany. And your wine-maker awaits you already with a first tasting!
Soon you will reach Bernkastel-Kues where many alleys and colorful half-timbered houses will impress. In any case you should taste the well-known “Bernkastler Doctor” (local produced wine). On your further way you will pass the wine growing district named “Kröver Nacktarsch”. A boat ride might offer beautiful views on the surrounding vineyards (not included). You have reached your next accommodation with Enkirch or Burg, respectively. Your next accommodation owes another winery and most likely you need to taste some more wine!
Also today the vineyards will escort your way. Always following the river Moselle you will pass another famous wine growing district which is called “Zeller Schwarze Katz”. Cycling over Beilstein, widely known as „Rothenburg on the Moselle River”, you will soon roll into Cochem. The charming center and the castle from the 11th century are just some highlights. Take enough time for a visit. Just a short distance and you have reached with Treis-Karden the goal of today.
After a short distance you should make a side trip to the medieval castle „Burg Eltz“, which counts among the most beautiful and best preserved castles of Germany. Located in the heart of nature it offers magnificent views. Back to the Moselle bike path you pass numerous charming wine villages, before you reach your final destination Koblenz. The center is situated at the confluence of the Moselle River and the Rhine River and is extremely well-suited for a stroll.
In Coblenz there is much to discover. If you are interested in we would be pleased to book some extra nights for you. Our transfer from Koblenz to Trier is very comfortable and daily possible.
