Here, you can expect ancient world cultural heritage, impressive castles, exquisite cuisine, historic wine towns and cities, Moselle cycle paths, and of course, a beautiful hiking region for relaxed walks or climbing tours on the Calmontsteig, the steepest vineyard in Europe.
Cycling Routes
The Moselle and Eifel regions offer a highly varied network of cycling routes — from quiet, flat paths directly along the Moselle River to peaceful trails through forests, along former railway tracks, and through picturesque vineyard and hill landscapes.
The cycling infrastructure is very well developed: the routes are consistently signposted, many sections are paved, and there are numerous opportunities for breaks, e-bike charging stations, bike rentals, and connections to trains or bike buses.
Long-distance routes such as the Moselle Cycle Path connect charming towns and popular sights throughout the region and can easily be combined into shorter or longer tours depending on your preferences.
