Itinerary
Moselle Cycle Track
Trier – Koblenz (6 days / 5 nights) | Self-guided cycling tours
Overlooking the stunning vineyards you cycle easily along the Mosel from Trier to Koblenz. The bike paths run almost without gradients along the river valley, so you can appreciate the many highlights along the way: castles and monasteries, half-timbered houses and wine bars. There are many worthwhile places for a stopover or a visit. The destination point is Koblenz, situated at the confluence of the Moselle and the Rhine. You stay in good ***-hotels; your luggage will be safely tranported from hotel to hotel.
Itinerary Trier – Koblenz
Day 1: Trier
Arrival in Trier, check-in in the hotel, unguarded parking near the hotel included. You receive the information material and rental bikes, overnight in Trier. If you arrive early, we recommend you a boat trip on the Moselle (included, also possible on day 2).
Day 2: Trittenheim (Cycling 40 km / 25 miles)
Today, the cycling track leads you from Schweich and Longuich (with remnants of the Roman fortress Villa Urbana) to Trittenheim. This picturesque town is situated on one of the numerous bends of the Moselle and is lined with vineyards. A instructive wine trail leads south of the village past the Lawrence Chapel. Small wine tasting evening.
Day 3: Traben – Trarbach (Cycling 53 km / 35 miles)
Today you cycle through the picturesque vineyards to Bernkastel-Kues. From the bike path the Burg Landshut is already visible (right side of the Moselle, due to the steep increase recommended only on foot, about 45 minutes) and the half-timbered houses of Kues. In Kues a settlement from the Neolithic period was excavated, worth seeing is also the marketplace and for wine lovers the Mosel Wine Museum including a wine store. Further on to Traben-Trarbach (fortress Grevenburg, old city walls).
Day 4: Cochem (Cycling 56 km / 35 miles)
Through one of the largest wine regions in Zell an der Moselle, the path crosses Bullay, past the ruined monastery offices (right side of the Moselle - for a short tour go before Bremm over the bridge to the right side of the Moselle, a bike path leads you directly to the ruins, return back on the same path to the Moselle bridge). Bremm lies at the foot of the steepest vineyard in Europe, the Calmonts (65-76% gradient!). Further along the Moselle loops your reach Beilstein (high above the town stands the imposing fortress Metternich). Today's destination is Cochem, where you have the opportunity to visit the Reichsburg (INCLUDED) - or the next day.
Day 5: Koblenz (Cycling 50 km / 30 miles)
On the Moselle Cycle Track you pass Klotten (with the ruin of Coraidelstein), Treis-Karden, Moselkern with the impressive Burg Eltz and cycle to the beautiful town Koblenz. You can see the gigantic equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I towering above the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine.
