The Moselle Valley Cycle Path offers a delightful and relaxing journey through one of Germany’s most scenic and culturally rich regions. The classic route between Trier and Koblenz is around 195 kilometres in length and follows the course of the Moselle River past picturesque, medieval wine villages and cascading vineyards. It’s predominantly flat and very well-maintained, making it suitable for just about anyone with a basic level of fitness.
Trier, Germany's oldest city is the starting point for the classic route and from here, riders soon enter a world of verdant vineyards and charming old wine villages. Every few kilometres another picturesque little riverside village appears inviting cyclists to stop and wander its narrow winding streets. The beautiful old half-timbered dwellings of these pretty little places evoke memories of children’s fairy-tale illustrations.
Of course, this is Germany’s most celebrated wine region, producing world class Rieslings in the terraced vineyards that descend to the riverbank. Each village and town along the valley offers plenty of opportunities to sample this marvellous local product.
The route ends in Koblenz, where the Moselle meets the Rhine and a visit to the confluence point at the Deutsches Eck seems a fittiung end to this wonderfully scenic and hugely enjoyable route.
The 'classic' 6 night Mosel Valley Cycling Holiday as this route takes in all the Moselle Valley's highlights at a leisurely pace. If you're short on time then you could consider covering the same distance in less time on our 4 night Moselle Valley Cycling Break - e-bikes are recommended on this version as you'll be covering 75 kms on most days.
We also offer a number of bike and boat options on the Moselle River. On these holidays you live aboard a very comfortable river cruiser, disembarking each day to explore a different section of the valley by bike.
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling. On the whole, the terrain will be level but there may also be a few small hills to contend with along the way too. Daily rides will typically take around 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Our moderate cycle holidays are for regular cyclists, who are used to longer rides with regular climbs. A good level of fitness is needed and you can expect to be in the saddle for between 4 and 5 hours each day.
These holidays are for seasoned cyclists who cycle long distances regularly and who enjoy the thrill of long days in the saddle. There will undoubtedly be some challenging climbs along the way and you can expect to cover between 55 and 75 miles each day.
