Moselle Cycle Route map – cycling holidays with Velociped

From Metz to Koblenz

If you wanted to, you could spend your entire Moselle tour in the cellar. In the wine cellar, of course. However, you would then miss out on much of what makes the cycle routes through the Moselle region so unique.
The Moselle is the second largest German tributary to the Rhine. Wedged between the Eifel and Hunsrück mountains, the river twists and turns like a narrow thread, especially between the Roman city of Trier and Cochem.
Of course, the routes along the Moselle are characterised by viticulture, some of which is practised on breathtakingly steep slopes. Names such as Piesport, Zell, Leiwen, the Konzer Tälchen, Neumagen-Dhron, Mehring, Bernkastel-Kues and Trittenheim testify not only to large areas of cultivation, but also to a great tradition.
In addition, the Moselle cycle paths also offer the opportunity to discover a unique cultural landscape in which a wide variety of influences have shaped the face of the region. Whether it be the Romans, as in Trier, or the German knighthood, whose way of life can still be impressively viewed at Eltz Castle.

travel report Moselle Classic

I have been working on the Moselle region for Velociped-Fahrradreisen for over a year now. So I was all the more delighted when I finally had the opportunity to discover the Moselle by bike myself. I was excited as soon as I arrived: what would the hotels be like that we select so carefully for our guests? I was looking forward to checking in myself at the places where our cycle tourists usually stay. I was just as curious about the comfort of our rental bikes and what the quality of the cycle paths would be like “in real life.” I also wanted to experience the luggage transfer and return transfer from a traveler's perspective—after all, it's often these details that make a cycling trip relaxed and complete.

Behind the scenes

Koblenz: Hotel tour and tour of SE-Manon

The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, one of the city's most impressive sights, stands imposingly at the Deutsches Eck. The importance of the city of Koblenz for Velociped is also impressive: many Velociped cyclists are travelling along the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers and the Lahn estuary south of Koblenz. Koblenz has a decisive influence on the quality of the cycle tour as a start or end point as well as during the journey along the Rhine. In this lively city, we value our cooperation with a number of long-standing hotel partners and are also delighted about new hotel openings and new collaborations with long-established Koblenz hotels. It is important to us to be able to offer a special blend of comfort, service and personalised care. Over the off-season, we have expanded our selection of hotels in Koblenz, not least by gaining new hotel partners, so it is time to visit the historic city in person again and exchange ideas with our contacts, some of whom have been with us for many years. We take an invitation to visit the SE Manon ship from SE Tours as an incentive and set off in our Velociped Sprinter towards Bad Ems-Nievern to our bicycle depot at the beginning of April. We meet our station manager Carsten there and then set off on our hotel tour from Koblenz main station.
