Wine-tour on the Moselle cycle path: In close proximity to the river, surrounded by nature, urban, mysterious and spectacular; these are all attributes that describe the Mosel Cycle Path perfectly and which ensure you are never bored. Highlight after highlight can be found on a total of 195 kilometres and 4 stages between Trier and the mouth of the Mosel in Koblenz. The Mosel Cycle Path isn’t really about sporting ambition as the routes, which are mostly asphalted and run separately from the main roads, are relatively flat and without major gradients. Rather, it’s the experience and enjoyment aspects that characterise the Mosel Cycle Path!
