Cycling tour in the Moselle Valley - from Luxembourg to Koblenz, self-guided

Day 1Arrival Day, Luxembourg

We recommend direct flights Oslo – Luxembourg (not included in the price).
If you have booked a rental bike, you will find it at the hotel, along with an information pack containing the week's program, maps of the stages, etc.

In Luxembourg, you can explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town and wander through the Casemates – the underground tunnels from the Middle Ages. You might also want to visit the Grand Ducal Palace and enjoy the view from Chemin de la Corniche, also called "Europe's most beautiful balcony".

Lunch and dinner on your own (not included).

Day 2Luxembourg - Trier

Today's cycling stage goes through Luxembourg on small country roads through fields and vineyards.
By the Moselle, you will find perfect cycle paths, and along the river lie plenty of charming wine villages.

In Konz, you see where the Saar River meets the Moselle, before arriving in Trier and today's accommodation – one of the oldest cities north of the Alps.

Lunch and dinner on your own (not included).

Day 3Trier - Zeltingen

You cycle along the Moselle through small, beautiful villages full of charm and history.

From Trittenheim, you cross the river on one of the oldest bridges. From here, you get a lovely view of the famous Moselle Valley, with all the vineyards on the hills above the town. Beautiful!

Then you pass Neumagen-Dhron, Germany's oldest wine village, before finally reaching today's final destination Zeltingen.

Day 4Zeltingen - Cochem

After breakfast, you leave Zeltingen and follow the river to the famous "Moselle Loop" in Zell, also called "Zeller Hamm".

The Marienburg Castle, around 900 years old, towers majestically on the mountain ridge. The countless steep "mountainsides" – full of grapevines – are a beautiful sight. Here, it will be difficult not to join a wine tasting in one of the many traditional taverns.

Before arriving in Cochem, you get a fantastic view of Europe's steepest vineyard: Calmont.

Today's final destination is the town of Cochem, known for its impressive fortifications and for its Reichsburg Castle, a landmark of German castle romanticism.

Day 5Cochem - Koblenz

A couple of kilometers from Cochem, you arrive at the small town of Moselkern, situated along the banks of the Moselle River.
From here, it is worth taking a short detour to the nearby fairytale castle Eltz.

In the next village on the map, Kobern-Gondorf, we recommend a stop at the old marketplace with all the great buildings surrounding the square.

From here, the stage continues via Winningen to Koblenz. This is the city where the Moselle River flows into the Rhine, at the Deutsches Eck.
A fantastic panoramic view awaits you at the top of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress; you get up there by cable car (incl.).
