Day 2: Trier (46 km)

Your first cycling stage follows the German Luxembourg section of the Moselle through charming wine villages, gentle vineyard slopes and varied river scenery. Along the way, beautiful views of the Moselle Valley and its renowned wine growing areas accompany your ride. Today's destination is Trier, Germany’s oldest city, where Roman heritage is visible throughout the historic centre. Highlights include the Porta Nigra, the Imperial Baths and Trier Cathedral. An included one hour boat cruise on the Moselle provides a memorable perspective of the city and its riverside setting.

Overnight stay in a 4☼☼☼☼ hotel.

Day 3: Trittenheim / Neumagen-Dhron (40/45 km)

Leaving Trier behind, you continue through the famous Middle Moselle wine region. The route leads via Schweich and Mehring, following the river through a landscape shaped by vineyards, traditional wine villages and sweeping Moselle bends. This enjoyable stage offers frequent views across the valley and its steep vine covered slopes. Your destination is Trittenheim or Neumagen Dhron. Trittenheim is known for its long standing wine tradition, while Neumagen Dhron proudly holds the title of Germany’s oldest wine village and reflects centuries of viticultural history.

Day 4: Zeltingen (35/30 km)

Today you cycle through the heart of the Middle Moselle, one of Germany’s most celebrated wine regions. Passing steep vineyard terraces and picturesque wine villages, you reach Bernkastel Kues, famous for its historic market square and beautifully restored half timbered houses. After time to explore this attractive town, continue to Zeltingen. The village is renowned for its excellent vineyards, elegant winegrowers’ estates and its historic sundial, one of the best known landmarks along the Moselle. The day combines cultural highlights with classic river scenery.
