We are delighted that you are interested in a holiday along the Moselle River, the epitome of comfort, and have lots of information to offer you:

The Moselle Valley is well known for its mild climate and excellent wines. Coming from the Vosges, the river flows through Lothringen and to the borders of Luxemburg where it meanders between the Eifel and Hunsrück regions before reaching the Rhine.  

Steep vineyards dominate the landscape and pretty little villages and towns nestle by the river, often towered over by majestic castles and forts. Famous town such as Metz or Trier lie along the Moselle and guests cycling along well paved paths won’t be able to resist the romantic idyll of castles and wooden-framed houses or a good glass of wine of Moselle, Saar and Ruwer in one of the cosy, friendly wine taverns.  

No Moselle holiday-maker can miss the town of Trier. Even to this day a 2000 year old Roman history dominates the Moselle metropolis. Porta Nigra, the Konstantin-Basilica, Amphitheatre and the thermal baths: all still impressive buildings even as ruins, testify to the power of the Roman emperors who made Trier the centre of the Gallic Province and the Roman Empire north of the Alps for over 400 years. Numerous other buildings in the form of villas, former estates, wine presses and temples attest to the life and times of the ancient "invaders".

The Moselle Valley around Cochem offers visitors a pure medieval experience. The Reichsburg castle, which is probably one of the most famous Mosel castles, towers high above the narrow valley and over the winding lanes of the old town. Somewhat downriver, hidden in the romantic Eltz Valley near Moselkern, lies Eltz castle which was the symbol on 500 DM notes. Upriver the majestic Thurant Castle Cologne, the southern half to Trier.  

Most people experience a mixture of fear and fascination in relation to volcanoes. In the Eifel region the "smoking mountain" and its phenomena can be closely and safely observed. The most significant volcanic area in Germany is located here between the Mosel and Cologne basins. Circular maars, basalt and pumice areas and bubbling mineral springs dominate the peaceful, broad landscape. The cold water geyser in Andernach, which regularly shoots a high fountain blast of water up to 60 metres, is a complete contrast to the volcanic landscape.

As you can see, there is a lot to discover along the Moselle Cycle Route, we look forward to hearing from you!
