Directions

The Gestade in Bernkastel is an ideal starting point. If you choose Bernkastel-Kues as your starting point, the route takes you steadily uphill from the Moselle valley to the Moselle spur between Bernkastel and Trarbach. The gradient is considerable and long lasting. During the ascent through the vineyards you can enjoy great views of the Moselle valley and Bernkastel-Kues. Then you leave the vineyards in the direction of Graacher Schäferei.Through the Graacher Schäferei, with a short push at the end of the village, you continue on a well constructed road up to the plateau. Along the route of the B50n, which is currently under construction, the tour leads steadily uphill to Longkamp. You cycle through meadows and fields and on well-built farm tracks to Monzelfeld. From there the tour leads you on well-maintained but unpaved forest paths down to Hinterbachtal and through it to Thalveldenz. This section can be a bit muddy in the cold season and after long periods of rain. From Thalveldenz, the tour takes you back along well-paved farm tracks to Mülheim, from where you take the Moselle cycle path back to Bernkastel.
