Cycle tour on the German Moselle

Fancy a short cycle tour along the Moselle? Discover the Roman and medieval history along the entire German Moselle, from the French border to the mouth of the Rhine. Follow the winding course of the river as you cycle through small and well-known wine villages, with defiant castles and imposing fortresses rising up to the left and right. Taste the much-praised Moselle wines in the wineries before arriving in the vibrant university town of Koblenz and taking a look at the Deutsches Eck. This cycle tour along the German Moselle is mostly flat and is suitable for everyone.
