Moselle Cycle Route from Bernkastel-Kues to Cochem - Stages 6 to 8
This 4-day taster tour is ideal for cycling enthusiasts and those who want to become one. The route offers a perfect mix of picturesque landscapes, historic towns and culinary delights along the Moselle.
The tour starts in charming Bernkastel-Kues, a historic town with narrow alleyways, half-timbered houses and the famous market square with its Renaissance town hall. Here it is worth taking a stroll through the old town or visiting the wine culture center before setting off.
The daily stages are kept moderate at around 30 to 45 kilometers, which gives you enough time to explore the surrounding area and take breaks.
The tour ends in Cochem. The majestic Reichsburg castle, which towers high above the town, offers a spectacular panoramic view over the Moselle valley and is the crowning glory of this tour.
