Discover the historically rich wine growing region of Moselle on this fascinating ride following the Moselle Bike Path from Trier to Koblenz. This ride is mainly on paved roads and dedicated bike trails, which makes it much easier to enjoy the many cultural highlights and regional delights to be found along the Moselle River. Beginning in Trier, regarded as Germany's oldest city, you'll witness numerous Roman monuments before setting out along the vineyard lined Moselle River, whose breathtaking green landscapes will constantly inspire you as you cycle.

Customer Reviews
I highly recommend this bike tour. Touring the Mosel on bikes is a great way to immerse yourself in a beautiful part of German life. Most of the people we encountered on the bike path were Germans pedaling by the gorgeousness of the Mosel, sipping Weisswein at Weinhüttes by the river, or camping at one of the many exceptionally charming campgrounds along the way. The accommodations were all comfortable, the bike paths are well maintained and user-friendly, and as a healthy person who does not ride extensively - I was able to complete the journey without any concerns.
The Mosel region is great and we enjoyed the area and experience. We were disappointed with a few things - accommodation was average both in quality and location. We were generally given hotels in towns that were close to the ones advertised. Dinner options were limited as a result. Also, the bikes were very old. I understand there are options to upgrade accommodation and bikes but given the cost of the tour, I expected a higher standard.
Organisation and accommodation was excellent.
Beautiful ride down the Mosel Valley. The hotels, bikes and luggage transfer were all very good.
Excellent trip. Easy to follow route along the river. Very pretty route with lots of history. Loads of refreshment opportunities.
