On this round trip, you’ll explore not only the enchanting Moselle, but also three of its tributaries by bike. You can look forward to some truly special experiences of nature, as well as numerous charming old towns boasting a history stretching back millennia.

In Trier alone, you can experience and appreciate 2,000 years of history at first hand. The excellent transport links by boat and train allow you to visit numerous places in comfort. Each of the river valleys has its own unique and special charm. Numerous castles and palaces line your route. Small wine-growing villages invite you to sample the local grape varieties, and you’ll also find local brewers. An ideal cycling holiday for exploring the region without the stress and the daily hassle of packing your bags.

The itinerary
 at a glance

For your 5-day location-based tour in the Trier area

Make your own way to Trier and check into your accommodation. An evening stroll through the city is a brilliant way to get in the mood for your upcoming cycling holiday.

Today you’ll be exploring the Saar Valley. You’ll start your circular tour on the Upper Moselle and very soon you’ll reach the medieval town of Saarburg with its castle ruins. You’ll cycle back to Trier via a short loop, passing through Tawern and Konz. If you’ve booked Category A or A Plus, we’ll organise a Moselle wine tasting for you in the evening. This will be accompanied by winemaker’s tapas served on a slate platter.

You’ll start with a train journey to Bitburg-Erdorf (ticket not included; payable on the spot). You’ll spend most of the day in the tranquil Kyll Valley. Staying close to the river’s course, you’ll be treated to magnificent panoramic views and breathtaking natural landscapes. At Ehrang, you’ll reach the Moselle and follow it for the final stretch back to Trier. In the evening, you’ll discover the city from a different perspective on a round-trip boat tour lasting around 60 minutes.

After a leisurely breakfast, our driver will collect you from your accommodation and take you directly to Piesport. Before you set off on your cycle tour, you should visit the 3rd-century Roman wine-pressing site. Neumagen-Dhron is considered Germany’s oldest wine-growing village and is the perfect spot for a lunch break. A wine trail along your route provides information about local grape varieties – which, of course, are just waiting to be tasted! If you’ve booked Category A or A Plus, a short city tour awaits you on your return to Trier. The city’s numerous monuments bear witness to its long history and are sure to impress you.

Before you set off on your journey home, we recommend a short cycle ride upstream along the Moselle. A train journey of around 50 minutes will take you to Perl (ticket not included; payable on the spot). From Perl onwards, the Moselle forms the border between Germany and Luxembourg. Vineyards stretch out on both sides of the river, creating a magnificent panorama. Passing through Konz, where the Saar flows into the Moselle, you’ll soon reach Trier again. You’ll set off for home in the afternoon. We’d be delighted to extend your stay on the Moselle.

As a general rule, the earlier you book, the better.

However, this PEDALO cycle tour is one of those that you may still be able to book at very short notice, i.e. up to three working days before your arrival date. Feel free to enquire about the options - preferably by telephone. If it is already apparent from your enquiry that it will not be possible to complete the booking process quickly enough, we will of course let you know immediately. 

There are places in the world of cycle touring that are just so picturesque and diverse that once you have arrived, you can't tear yourself away. They have so much to offer that you will struggle to decide which direction to cycle in first. These special spots are where we at PEDALO have created our location-based tours just for you.

Keep riding, but always stay in the same place

In contrast to staged tours and round trips, you won't cycle from place to place, and thus from hotel to hotel. Instead, you will stay in one and the same accommodation for the duration of your cycling holiday. This hotel will be the starting point for fascinating cycling excursions in the surrounding area. Every day, there will be new routes for you to explore. Every evening, you will return to hosts who put their heart and soul into their work and offer you a pleasantly cosy atmosphere with a healthy dose of class. Instead of having to pack your bags each day, you simply get to ride your bike and enjoy your holiday.

For beginners, improvers - and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air

This type of cycling holiday is designed for anyone who likes to take it easy. If you’re feeling a bit too sore for cycling or the weather isn't looking good, you can simply take a day off. Location-based tours are also ideal for first-time cyclists who may not yet know exactly how much they can or want to tackle in a day. No unnecessary stress, just pure freedom - so your tour can be all about the joy of cycling!

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.

Long stages, tough climbs and a fast pace are just as much a part of a gravel bike trip as a classic road bike trip - but gravel biking has the added advantage of not being tied to a perfectly good road network. A gravel bike allows you to ride comfortably and quickly on surfaces that would leave you shaken to the core on a conventional road bike.

Gravel bikes are multi-purpose bikes. Thanks to their specially adapted geometry and slightly wider, well-profiled tyres, they are just as fun to ride on dirt roads as they are on tarmac. This means there are almost no obstacles to a trip on a wide variety of terrain. You can get where you’re going in no time at all and experience nature at close quarters.
