Enjoy a relaxed cycling holiday through Germany’s most famous wine growing area on the Moselle Cycle Path. Journey along the Moselle River accompanied by with fabulous food, wine, castles and charming villages of medieval half-timbered houses. The Roman city of Trier, founded in 16BC, is arguably Germany’s oldest city and overflows with classical and historical sights, including the Imperial Thermal Baths. As you pedal north from Trier you are immersed in a landscape of forests, vineyard-covered hills and villages of medieval half-timbered houses. The Moselle Cycle Path takes you through the towns of Bernkastel Kues, Traben Tarbach, Cochem, Neumagen Dhron (the oldest German wine town) and Enkirch, a jewel of the regional medieval ‘Fachwerk’ (Tudor style) architecture. Perfectly suited to those that enjoy cycling on dedicated cycle paths with very few hills, riding the Moselle reveals a treasure trove of Germany's ancient history.
