Bike Tour along the river Moselle

Day 1: Individual Arrival in Saarbrücken

Your tour begins in the capital city of Saarland, in the very Western part of Germany. The region was the focus of German and French interests for centuries and was completely destroyed in 1677 and rebuilt as a Baroque city. Why not visit the impressive castle and its surrounds or stroll through the heart of the St. Johann city quarter. Booked rental bicycles are available for collection in your hotel.
