An exciting adventure for both young and old awaits right at the start of your journey, as you explore and discover the city of Trier through a treasure hunt. The next morning, you’ll hop on your bike and cycle along the Moselle to Mehring. Near Riol, you can take a refreshing dip in the lakes and enjoy an ice cream by the pier. From Mehring, the route continues to Piesport, where you'll learn about regional grape varieties along the wine trail in Trittenheim, and in Neumagen-Dhron, you’ll have the chance to taste the wines.

Your next destination on the Moselle cycle path is Bernkastel-Kues – a charming town known for its traditional half-timbered houses. The final stage takes you through the vineyards of "Kröver Nacktarsch" to Traben-Trarbach. You’ll end an eventful family holiday with a round of mini golf, creating lasting memories together.

  • Wine tasting and a boat tour in Bernkastel-Kues: Picturesquely situated along the banks of the Moselle, the historic town center enchants with its cobblestone streets and well-preserved half-timbered houses. The town is renowned for its exceptional Riesling wines, grown in the surrounding vineyards. A highlight is the medieval marketplace, featuring the beautiful Spitzhäuschen and the Renaissance-style town hall. After your stage, a relaxing boat ride awaits you here.
  • Experience Trier in a playful way: A city tour can be a little boring for kids but with our city tour, learning about the sights is turned into an exciting treasure hunt. Exploring the Trier Cathedral, the Constantine Basilica, the Imperial Baths, and many other landmarks becomes a fun adventure for the whole family.
  • Water fun along the Moselle: Variety comes in the form of numerous swimming opportunities. While the kids splash around in the cool water, the adults can relax and enjoy a coffee. You'll pass several outdoor pools along the way, with the lakes near Riol being particularly lovely. At Triolago Lake, you can rent a pedal boat together or try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding.

The well-maintained Moselle cycle path offers stunning views and attractions for all ages – and it’s wonderfully flat. The 20 to 30-kilometer stages are perfect for even the youngest cycling enthusiasts. There’s plenty of energy left for the included activities, such as a round of mini golf, a ride on the summer toboggan, and a boat tour.

On the Moselle cycle path, Eurobike offers travel options for every level of cyclist. On our website, we’ve compiled helpful information and plenty of useful details to assist with your travel planning.
