Discover the beautiful Moselle Valley on a cycling tour along the Moselle Cycle Path, following the river through vineyards, charming villages and historic towns. This 192 km route from Trier to Koblenz combines scenic riverside cycling with opportunities to explore the region’s rich history and enjoy its renowned local wines.
The tour covers four stages, following the Moselle River through one of Germany’s most picturesque wine-growing regions.
