Our cycle tour from Luxembourg along the Moselle takes you from the small Grand Duchy to the Deutsches Eck in Coblenz. You start in D‘Stad, as the Luxembourgers affectionately call their capital of the same name. Visit the casemates and take a walk to the Grand Ducal Palace. In Remich you meet the Moselle. Located between the Eifel and Hunsrück, it meanders through the multi-faceted Moselle valley. Explore the Porta Nigra in Treves, the wine ship in Neumagen-Dhron and the half-timbered town of Bernkastel-Kues. The Imperial Castle in Cochem and Eltz Castle near Treis-Karden are just a few of the many interesting buildings that you will discover on the 280 kilometers to Coblenz. On our cycle tour from Luxembourg along the Moselle, you will gain insights and views of a region whose settlement began in Roman times over 2000 years ago. You will come across Roman buildings as well as millions of vines that make the heart of every wine lover beat faster. The Moselle cycle path is a typical river cycle path with almost no inclines. Culture and history enthusiasts as well as leisure cyclists, families and cycle tour newcomers will enjoy a special cycling experience on this tour.

Cycle tour from Luxembourg to Koblenz

Day 1: Individual arrival in Luxembourg

Welcome to Luxembourg! The capital of the same name is the central hub of the small Grand Duchy. Grab your bike as soon as you arrive at the hotel and explore the city, which is known for its large bridges. Visit the underground corridors of the casemates. They are the remains of the former city fortress. A stroll through the picturesque alleyways of the old town takes you via the Fëschmaart (fish market), past the Grand Ducal Palace and to Place Guillaume II, popularly known as Knuedler .

Day 2: Luxembourg – Remich region, approx. 45 km

Following the River Alzette, you leave the city of Luxembourg. On small country roads, you cycle through hilly landscapes that have a few climbs in store for you. You spend the night in Remich on the border with Germany. Located on the western bank of the Moselle, the town is considered the center of Luxembourg's winegrowing industry. The vineyards and dense forests around the town make Remich look like an amphitheater. Stroll along the three-kilometre-long riverside promenade along the Moselle. Enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere of the pearl of the Luxembourg Moselle.

Remich Luxembourg

Day 3: Remich – Treves, approx. 40 km

Today you follow the Moselle, which also forms the German-Luxembourg border as far as Wasserbillig. Accompanied by wide vineyards to the left and right of the river, you cycle through small wine villages to Treves. Characterized by everything from Roman buildings to modern cultural monuments, the city is considered the oldest in Germany. Particularly noteworthy is the Porta Nigra, the city's landmark. Set off on an extensive tour of the city from the Black Gate. Visit the impressive Treves Cathedral and the Imperial Baths. Round off the day with a refreshing glass of Moselle wine. Cheers to you!

Day 4: Treves – Piesport, approx. 50 km

Following the meanders of the Moselle, you cycle to Piesport today. Make your first stopover in Mehring. Visit the Villa Rustica. The estate brings the Roman era back to life. Another stop is worthwhile in Neumagen-Dhron, one of the oldest wine villages in Germany. The Neumagen wine ship will delight you, as will its wooden replica in the Neumagen-Dhron harbor. Your destination for the day, Piesport, is by far the largest wine-growing community on the Moselle. Sample a sparkling Riesling from one of the steep vineyards and enjoy the view of the Moselle bend.

At the halfway point of today's stage of your cycle tour from Luxembourg along the Moselle, you will reach Bernkastel-Kues. Explore Landshut Castle, which towers over the half-timbered town. From its keep, you have a wonderful view of the Moselle valley. The Moselle Wine Museum with its wine shop is dedicated to the enjoyment of wine. 140 different Moselle wines are waiting to be tasted by you. The townscape of Traben-Trarbach, your destination for today's stage, is characterized by half-timbered buildings and magnificent Art Nouveau villas. Switch from the bike to the water, as you can also enjoy the Moselle on a boat trip.

The longest stage of your cycle tour from Luxembourg along the Moselle first takes you to Zell.

Try a Riesling from the world-famous Zeller Schwarze Katz vineyard. If the Reichsburg castle catches your eye, it's not far to Cochem. The lofty castle complex is the town's landmark. Take the Cochem chairlift to the Pinner-Kreuz, the town's most beautiful vantage point.
