tour
You should take your time for the visit of the historical centre, the Imperial thermal baths and the Porta Nigra. Arrival is possible by German railway/parking site and rental bike at the hotel.
You cycle past the old ferry tower Schweich to Mehring. Marvel at the ruins of Villa Rustica - an old country house from the Roman Empire - and the many vine-covered wineries. Discover Neumagen-Dhron, the oldest wine village in Germany and the world-famous Roman wine ship, a historic stone relief. Cafes and wine bars invite you to a stop before you cycle on to Bernkastel-Kues. Enjoy Bernkastel-Kues` historic market square. Centuries-old half-timbered houses, the Renaissance town hall and the almost legendary Spitzhäuschen want to be discovered.
Directly at the Moselle you pass the cosy wine village of Zeltingen to Traben-Trarbach. The flair of the city and the fascinating architecture of Art Nouveau and the Belle Epoque will inspire you. After a worthwhile break, you cycle to Enkirch, the jewel of half-timbered architecture. Near Bullay you will discover the steel bridge, which is still unique in Germany. Look forward to the small but wildly romantic town of Beilstein with only 160 inhabitants, its current overnight destination. Many guests consider Beilstein to be the most beautiful and romantic place on the Moselle an has the nickname "Rothenburg an der Mosel". During a stroll through the narrow streets, it quickly becomes clear why the place has already served as a film backdrop for numerous films. In the evening you will arrive Cochem with a beautiful centre an the old Reichsburg.
On your way further, you can make detour (+ 4 km) to the medieval castle Eltz, one of the most beautiful and best preserved castles in Germany. Through the historic wine village of Kobern Gondorf as well as through the pretty wine village of Winningen, which is one of the most beautiful villages in Germany, you cycle through the slowly widening Moselle valley towards the mouth of the Rhine. Enjoy the wide view of the Rhine Valley here at the Deutsches Eck before enjoying a nice evening in Koblenz.
After breakfast your cycle holiday ends in Koblenz. We recommend our back transfer to Trier (departure 9 am, duration about 2 hours - please book in advance).
