Emmanuel

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

Itinerary

If you’re drawn to leisurely cycling, enchanting riverscapes, and centuries of winemaking tradition, the Moselle Bike & Barge tour is your perfect getaway. This eight-day, relaxed-paced group trip follows the Saar and Moselle rivers from Saarburg, winding through Germany’s prettiest valleys and towns.

Enjoy comfortable accommodation on a floating barge, letting you unpack just once as you cycle through vineyards, visit Germany’s oldest town, and marvel at Roman and medieval landmarks. Castles abound—none more fairy-tale-like than the celebrated Eltz Castle—while each stop offers a chance to savor regional wines and soak up local culture.

The unique aspect of this tour package is its effortless blend of history, culture, and relaxation. With all details arranged, you’re free to enjoy gentle rides, scenic beauty, and authentic experiences each day.

For travelers who seek a cycle tour that is as relaxing as it is enriching, Moselle Bike & Barge delivers a memorable German adventure.

day 1 - Embarkation in Koblenz*

On arrival in Koblenz* make your own way to the boat for embarkation at 4pm. You will spend the evening and first night in Koblenz. The captain and his crew will welcome you on board at approximately 6pm.

Located at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, Koblenz has been an important defensive centre for the region over its more than 2000 year history. Its impressive fortifications are still in good condition today and it's worth exploring these, as well as the old town with its ancient churches.

day 2 - By boat to Alken then cycle via Moselkern to Cochem (29km/18mi)

The first section of the route today to Alken is by boat. At Alken the cycle begins by crossing the river via a bridge and continuing along the banks of the Moselle. The first stop is Moselkern. You can park your bike and explore (around 35 minutes) the Elztal valley to Eltz Castle, considered one of the best preserved castles in Germany. Guided tours are available in English. Continue by bike to Cochem, which is overshadowed by the impressive Reichsburg Castle dating from 1051. Cochem is a lovely little town with historical half-timbered-houses and a picturesque Old town, surrounded by vineyards. You can choose to stay on board today if you prefer and enjoy the passing landscapes from the boat.
