Tour
Travel to Metz in good time today, as the capital of the Lorraine region is well worth seeing and has interesting things to offer! From Roman times to the present day, the city has unique buildings and is famous as an episcopal see, university town and centre of contemporary art. In addition to numerous sights in the old town, several extensive parks invite you to relax and linger, and the old restored fortifications of the city are also worth a tour. In the city centre you will find shops and a variety of good and individual restaurants with different culinary offers, just waiting to be discovered by you.
You will spend almost the entire cycling day in France today. Indulge in the famous French cuisine on the way and enjoy a good 'cafe au lait'. Just over the border on German soil you have reached Perl and can now cross over to Schengen (other side of the Moselle / Luxembourg), known for the European agreement that regulates the free movement of goods and people. Afterwards you cycle in good spirits to Perl.
Today you will leisurely follow the young course of the river past Grevenmacher and Wasserbillig to Konz, where the Saar flows into the Moselle. Only a few more kilometres and you will be welcomed by the Roman city of Trier. Take a worthwhile tour of the city and marvel at the imposing cathedral, the vast main market, the Imperial Baths, the amphitheatre and the Porta Nigra. With these impressions in your luggage, you will quickly roll along the flat Moselle cycle path to Trittenheim, where you will spend the night in an idyllic wine village.
In the morning, discover Neumagen-Dhron, the oldest wine village in Germany, and look forward to the beautiful cycling route. You cycle through such famous wine-growing areas as Kröver Nacktarsch and Zeller Schwarze Katz. Look forward to the towns of Bernkastel-Kues and Traben Trarbach, which are well worth seeing, and let yourself be enchanted by their half-timbered romanticism.
Today it is worth stopping in the small town of Beilstein, proudly nicknamed "Rothenburg an der Mosel". Look forward to Cochem with its picturesque centre and the old Reichsburg from the 11th century. A detour to the medieval Eltz Castle is also worthwhile before the Moselle Cycle Path takes you to the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz. Enjoy the sweeping views of the magnificent Rhine Valley and look forward to a lovely evening in Koblenz.
Today your beautiful cycling tour ends in the heart of Koblenz. If you would like to return to Metz, you can book our practical return transfer everyday via Saarbrücken or Trier in a minibus with luggage and private bikes. Departure is always at 9am in the morning, arrival in Metz around 1.30pm.

Available rental bikes
We would recommend the 7-speed tourer for all those that are looking for a back-pedal brake and wide gel seat for maximum comfort in an upright sitting position. It is equipped with a simple hub gear shift and is perfectly suited to tours on flat to slightly hilly terrain.
The 27-speed tourer is the best choice for cyclists that value the advantages of the dérailleur gear shift for flexibility whilst going up and down hills. This bike allows you to be a little more active without compromising on saddle comfort and practical everyday suitability.
E-bikes combine a lot of advantages. The electric drive ensures a completely relaxed cycling, even during long tours or on hilly routes. Other features, such as a suspension seat post and front fork plus well-tuned gears, ensure additional riding comfort.
