Trier - Cologne
Moselle & Rhine
Trier is regarded as the oldest city of Germany. Numerous Roman monuments are omnipresent. Your rental bikes are already 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. Close to Piesport you will pass Neumagen-Dhron which is Germany´s oldest wine village. Taste a glass of wine in Piesport - for sure this could be a nice finish of this beautiful cycle day!
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 today´s destination with Traben-Trarbach. The city offers many architectural masterpieces of art nouveau and Belle Epoch.
Also today the vineyards will escort your way. Enkirch is a trinket of half-timbered houses and ideally suitable for a brake. 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.
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 today´s 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.
From now the River Rhine will be your escort. For sure you will be delighted from the beauty of the Rhine valley. The river widens now. On your way you will pass plenty of small and charming villages. In Remagen you should schedule some time to visit the information desk of the local bridge, which became well-known during second world war. The so-called Rolandseck with its historic buildings and the Arp museum is also worth a visit. Today you will stay overnight in the health resort of Bad Godesberg.
You will soon pass the former German capitol Bonn and finally reach with Cologne the finish of your cycle tour. Already from the distance you will see the local cathedral. Today´s stage is a bit shorter which gives you some time for a stroll through the old part of the city center.
In Cologne there is much to discover. If you are interested in, we would be pleased to book some extra nights for you. Our transfer from Cologne to Trier is very comfortable (possible daily with departure 8 am directly from the hotel, reservation required at time of booking).
