Tour Overview

Experience the best of the Moselle Cycle Path from Metz to Koblenz. As the Moselle winds through France and up into Germany, the path is relatively flat; however, riders wanting more of a challenge can certainly find it by going “off path,” through the villages and up into the surrounding hills. The Middle Moselle area is dominated by vineyards, where opportunities for wine tastings are plenty. We’ll Explore castles, historic villages, and Roman sites along the way as we experience the rich landscape and regional cuisine in the heart of Europe. The trip is designed for cyclists of all abilities, as well as those simply wishing to relax in beautiful surroundings while enjoying wonderful amenities.
