Moselle Cycle Path
From Winery to Winery
On this special Moselle travel you will get to know the wide world of Moselle wines. Riesling, the noblest and most famous white wine grape in the world, the small berries ripen very late, are among the oldest grape varieties in the world. But not only Riesling is grown at the Moselle. Get to know all the wine variety and get first hand information directly from the winery. There are many occasions: on the road on your bike and in the evening at the Vineyard. In Trier Ruwer you stay in a winery hotel and in Neumagen-Dhron, Reil/Burg and Pomerania on wineries with modern rooms. Your hosts are all wine specialists and will gladly show you their production. Of course you can get a full picture of the skills of a wine-grower and this trip even includes 3 wine samples. So, enjoy Moselle hospitality, good wines and a very well signposted flat bike path.

Individual arrival. Arrive early in the idyllic Ruwertal at the gates of Trier. You will stay in the middle of the vineyards in a beautiful hotel with its own vineyards. Arrival is possible by train or car (parking at the hotel). The rental bikes wait for you at your first hotel.
2nd Day: Trier/Ruwer – Neumagen-Dhron/Piesport, approx. 39/44 km
Accompanied by vineyards, you roll through the Ruwer valley along the Moselle, where the old ferry tower of Schweich is located. Stroll through Mehring’s lovingly crafted so-called Moselle streets and don’t be afraid to open the doors of vine-ranked wineries. In the afternoon you reach Neumagen-Dhron, the oldest wine village in Germany or Piesport, a nice little wine village with nice cafes, wineries and wine taverns. Convince yourself of the good quality of Piesporter gold pottery.
3rd Day: Neumagen-Dhron/Piesport – Burg/Reil, approx. 48/52 km
Today discover Bernkastel-Kues, stroll through the beautiful market square, past the proud half-timbered houses and educate yourself in the famous wine museum. After this worthwhile break you continue to cycle right on the banks of the Moselle to Zeltingen along the world-renowned vineyards Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schlossberg, Sonnenuhr and Deutschherrenberg. You will then cycle through the vineyards Kröver Nacktarsch to your winery in Burg or Reil close to Traben-Trarbach.
4th Day: Burg/Reil – Pommern/Treis-Karden, approx. 57/59 km
In the morning, you roll through the vineyards to Zeller Schwarze Katz. Marvel at the unique bridge that connects Bullay with Alf. It crosses as steel structure the Mosel at double-level, above is the rail and down is the road. Discover the romantic village of Beilstein with its nickname “Rothenburg an der Mosel”, stroll through the picturesque center of Cochem, visit the old imperial castle from the 11th Century or visit the ‘Rieslingstub’n’. Seat yourself between historic winery equipment or sit outside when the weather allows in vineyards courtyard with its shady roof of vine leaves. The delicately fruity Riesling from the famous Schiefer-Steillagen around Cochem transformed here into a fruity, mineral wine and offers delicious easy-drinking pleasure. With these impressions, you can quickly reach the charming wine village of Pommern and your family-run guesthouse where you stay the night. The wine tasting takes place at a nearby winery.
5th Day: Pommern/Treis-Karden – Koblenz, approx. 48/43km
Today an excursion lures (4 kilometers) to the medieval Burg Eltz, one of the most beautiful and best preserved castles in Germany. Wonderfully romantic and nestled in unspoiled nature, it looks like a true fairytale castle, inviting and majestic at the same time. Take part in an informative tour of the castle. Then you will cycle back to the Moselle bike path and roll down to the historic wine town Kobern Gondorf. Visit a terraced vineyard, because they have almost exclusively steep slopes. These are usually very rocky and therefore for the most part only buildable on more or less small terraces. On these steep slopes mainly Riesling and Pinot Noir grapes grow. Get first hand information from the winery on its work and its products. Afterwards, enjoy the last few kilometers cycling along the river. Take a short trip through the wine village Winningen, which is one of the most beautiful villages in Germany and look forward to a great end to the day in the city of Koblenz on the German Corner.
