Moselle Cycle Route: Trier to Koblenz in 4 days
Deutschland · 4 Days
Downstream through Germany’s narrowest wine valley: from the Porta Nigra in Trier via the Roman town of Neumagen-Dhron to Bernkastel-Kues, along the Moselle loops through Traben-Trarbach and Zell to Cochem and its imperial castle, up to Eltz Castle and finally to the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz. About 235 kilometres including all detours over four days, almost flat and paved throughout.
A sample route to look at. If you copy it, your own copy lands in your plans – there you can change days, stops and order.
Route: Mosel-Radweg – 124 mi on the way itself, 145 mi including detours to the stops. It is fixed – “regenerate” swaps stops, not the way. Days: 4 of about 31 mi each, overnight in the nearest town on the route.
Dashed line: detour to a stop away from the route (there and back).
