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.
