The Moselle - From Luxembourg To Koblenz Cycling Tour - 8 Da

Probably few cities are as familiar to us by name and yet at the same time as unknown as Luxembourg. Did you know that the city has the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Contrasts meet here: Europe's modern model state is still ruled by a grand duke, the capital is cosmopolitan and sometimes seems a bit provincial. In the evening, enjoy the culinary diversity in one of the countless cozy restaurants. Overnight stay in Luxembourg.

You will leave the city of Luxembourg via the deeply cut valley of the Alzette River. At the top, buildings such as the Palais de Justice and the Duke's Palace show off, while deep down the city seems quite village-like. Small houses with gardens seem almost a little lost in the European city. The casemates are evidence of the old times. Today's bike route through Luxembourg is well signposted on small country roads, over tiny villages, through hilly countryside with green forests and colorful fields. A romantic panorama of vineyards and forests surrounds the town of Remich like an amphitheater with the Moselle River as its stage. The 3-kilometer-long waterfront promenade, lined with cherry trees, invites you to take an evening stroll with its cafés and restaurants. Overnight stay in Remich.

Today you will enjoy the magnificent views of the Moselle Valley for the first time. As the flagship of Luxembourg wine growing, the region on the French-German border has always preserved its own style and character. The reputation of its wines and crémants is attracting more and more passionate wine lovers to the Luxembourg Moselle. At Konz you pass the mouth of the river Saarm, from here it is not far to Trier. North of the Alps there are no comparable magnificent buildings from Roman times. For a time, the entire Roman Empire was ruled from here. Come and get a taste of antiquity. The imperial palace auditorium has survived numerous wars and today serves as a Protestant church. Even today it impresses with imperial grandeur. How small and insignificant the supplicants from Constantine's throne must have felt can only be appreciated by those who themselves walk the path from the entrance to the altar. Overnight stay in Trier. DayTourDistance: approx. 42 CateringBreakfast
