The sportive 4-days tour through the valley of the Moselle.
Just a little longer than a weekend but feels like a complete holiday! This trip starts in Trier one of the oldest cities of Germany. Spend your short bicycle vacation in the most famous wine growing region of Germany along one of the most beautiful rivers and admire the "Kaiserthermen" (Emperor‘s hot springs) and the Porta Nigra - historical buildings of first rank in the Roman city of Trier. Discover famous towns like Bernkastel Kues, Traben Tarbach, Cochem, Neumagen Dhron (the oldest German wine town) and Enkirch, a jewel of the regional medieval "Fachwerk" (Tudor style) architecture.
You should arrive in due time in the Rome of the north. Experience 2000 years of history. Or just go on a bike trip to the Saar.
The bicycle path leads through wide curves along the Moselle to the wine village of Trittenheim and further on to the Old Town of Bernkastel-Kues. The framework houses present theirselves like a jewel-box and form nice with cosy pubs.
Cycle along Traben-Trarbach to the beautiful framework town of Enkirch. Enjoy a boat trip and discover Cochem with the Reichsburg castle. After only 11 km you will reach happily the wine town Treis Karden.
You should visit Eltz castle during a trip (+ 16 km). You follow the last curves of the Moselle through famous wine villages to the -Deuschen Eck- in Koblenz - a wonderful end of your journey (return of rental bikes/ receipt of luggage from 4 a.m.).
