Introduction
4 days, 2 cities, 1 bike path. A little more than a weekend - but really a lot of vacation. On this trip you start in the old Roman city of Trier and follow the Moselle cycle path through its wide and narrow loops to the mouth of the Rhine. Everyone who has some stamina and endurance will have fun on this bike tour. You cycle completely on the flat, but there are also 70 and 80 km on your daily program. If the condition is not enough, you can shorten the routes by bus, train or boat.

Day 1: Arrival Trier
Travel early to the Rome of the North. Experience 2000 years of history. You should plan enough time to visit the historic city center, the Imperial Baths and the Porta Nigra, because in hardly any other city has UNESCO put so many monuments on the list of world cultural heritage sites as in Trier! Your booked rental bike is already ready for you at the hotel and waiting to show you the lovely Moselle valley.
Accommodation
Selected middle class hotel, inn or pension
Day 2: Trier - Zeltingen
Through wide loops of the Moselle, the Moselle Cycle Path leads you first to the wine town of Trittenheim and after a few kilometers to Neumagen-Dhron, the oldest wine town in Germany. Marvel at the relief of the old Roman ship here. Continue to the old town of Bernkastel-Kues. Stroll through the beautiful market square, past proud half-timbered houses and amazing fountains, and visit the wine museum. Here you will get information about growing grapes on steep slopes, about the different grape varieties, about all the work in the vineyard and in the cellar, about wine storage and of course about wine culture. After this worthwhile break, you will continue to roll along the cycle path directly along the banks of the Moselle to Zeltingen. With about 171 hectares of vineyards and the world-famous vineyards Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schlossberg, Sonnenuhr and Deutschherrenberg, the village is one of the large and widely known wine-growing communities on the Middle Moselle.

Day 3: Zeltingen - Treis Karden
Through the wine-growing area of Kröver Nacktarsch you cycle to Traben-Trarbach, which captivates with its unique charm. After a worthwhile break, follow the cycle paths to the right and left of the Moselle via Enkirch, a gem of Moselle half-timbered architecture, and on through the "Zeller Schwarze Katz" wine-growing area to Cochem. Leave the Moselle Cycle Path here and visit the picturesque center as well as the old Reichsburg (11th century). It's really worth it! The last 12 km of your bike tour to the hotel in Treis-Karden roll along easily.

Day 4: Koblenz & departure from Koblenz (without overnight stay)
Visit during an excursion (+ 16 km) Eltz Castle, one of the most beautiful and best preserved castles in Germany. Wonderfully romantic and nestled in unspoiled nature, it looks like a fairy-tale castle come true. Back on the Moselle Cycle Path, you will once again discover typical Moselle wine villages such as Kobern-Gondorf and Winningen on the last kilometers in the Moselle Valley. In Koblenz at the Deutsches Eck, the Moselle flows into the Rhine - a wonderful end to your cycling tour. In the afternoon, you will drop off your booked rental bikes and can pick up your luggage at our contracted hotel in Koblenz from around 4:00 pm. We wish you a good journey home.
