Mosel-Radtour - Die Adlige...

Directions

The tour starts in Mülheim and leads you slightly elevated along vineyard paths through the former Moselle valley to Veldenz. Through Veldenz you will enter the Hinterbachal for a short stretch in the direction of Thalveldenz. The view goes up into the Hinterbach valley. Wild rock formations in the dense forest of the steep slopes frame the imposing Veldenz Castle. Schloss Veldenz, the ancestral home of the Counts of Veldenz, dominates the region from a rugged ridge down the mountain and still reminds us of the great history of the County of Veldenz. The only partially preserved buildings give an idea of how imposing this castle complex once was. You leave the Hinterbach Valley and Veldenz Castle behind and drive through Veldenz, leaving the town on the K 89 district road in the direction of the castles, which you reach after only a few kilometres.Castles, which are in no way inferior to Veldenz in terms of romantic beauty, are often referred to as "Little Venice of the Middle Moselle" because of their 19 bridges. You leave the wine village in the direction of Hirzlei and enter the Frohnbach valley to return to Burgen in an arc. You pass through this and at the end of Burgen turn onto an asphalt farm track which leads you towards Brauneberg and Mülheim. Once you arrive in Brauneberg, you have to pass the B53 to get on the Moselle cycle path. On this you cycle a short distance back to Mülheim.
