Individual Arrival in Metz

Enjoy the flair of the capital of Lorraine. Once a Celtic settlement, the town was developed by the Romans and in the Early Middle Ages was bigger and more important than Paris. As a diocesan town from the Reformation onwards, Metz experienced a turbulent history between Germany and France. St Stephen’s Cathedral is the most visible symbol of the town. Booked rental bicycles are available for collection in your hotel.
Overnight stay in Metz

Metz - Perl, approx. 30 km + train trip or approx. 65 km

The first stage of this route, which you can shorten by taking the train to Thionville (not included), leads you through Lorraine,  along the French part of the Moselle. Thionville is another larger town along the route before you continue on through the rural area near the border. The route up to now was very flat but from here on the first hills of the Luxembourgish and Pfalz Uplands appear along the riverbanks. 
Overnight stay in Perl

Perl - Treves, approx. 50 km

Today you can choose between the German or Luxembourgish banks of the Moselle. Both banks are beautiful, but the Luxembourgish side is a little livelier. The wine on both sides is however of excellent quality. Near Konz the Saar enters the Moselle and thus begins a new section of the Moselle near Treves.
Overnight stay in Treves

Treves - Piesport, approx. 45 km

In the Moselle Valley you will come into contact with the Roman and the winegrowing culture of the region. Today you will be able to view a very special relic from Ancient times: The Rustica in Mehring was reconstructed according to original plans and showcases the Roman way of life on their estates. In Trittenheim, wine lovers and connoisseurs are in for treat as you can stroll around the informative vineyard path and learn all there is to know about winegrowing. You will then be able to taste a little of the exquisite wine in Neumagen-Dhron.
Overnight stay in Piesport

Piesport - Traben-Trarbach, approx. 40 km

In the timber-framed small town of Bernkastel-Kues you will be able to admire the very pretty Market Square before continuing on to Zeltingen, a traditional winegrowing village with monastery gardens in the Moselle Baroque style. Continuing on along the Moselle you will pass through Kröv with its famous “Kröver Nacktarsch” vineyard before coming to Traben-Trarbach. This small town is a gem filled with buildings in the Classical and Jugendstil styles.
Overnight stay in Traben-Trarbach

Traben-Trarbach - Cochem, approx. 55 km

Passing through Zell, which is well-known for its "Zeller Schwarze Katz", you will continue on to Beilstein, the “Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle”. The village is really similar to that of a storybook landscape! The village has changed little over the past few centuries, retaining its medieval flair. Soon you will reach Cochem, which is surrounded by rolling, wooded hills. Home to the red Moselle-Weinbergpfirsichs, the town has a picturesque centre and the old Imperial Castle attracts visitors year after year.
Overnight stay in Cochem

Cochem - Koblenz, approx. 50 km

Today you will continue on at a fast pace along well developed cycle paths on your way to Koblenz. In Kobern-Gondorf don’t forget to visit the oldest timber-framed building in Germany, the Abteihof dating from 1320! As you will have improved your level of fitness during the course of the holiday a detour to the well-known Eltz Fortress is recommended.  Or why not finish off your holiday relaxing in the Old Town of Koblenz?
