General information
Directions
Start: From your accommodation, cycle to Trier main station and take the train from there to Bitburg-Erdorf.
On the Kyll Valley cycle path, cycle southwards from Bitburg-Erdorf station, passing Hüttingen and Philippsheim to Speicher (station).
From Speicher (station), continue through the unspoiled Kyll Valley, which takes on the character of a floodplain landscape the further downstream you cycle. After about 30 kilometers, you will finally reach the municipality of Kordel.
- Tip: Visit Ramstein Castle
From Kordel, it is now only a few more kilometers to the city limits of Trier-Ehrang. In Ehrang, cross the railway tracks and then cycle into Servaisstraße. Leave it again after a few meters to the left behind the petrol station and follow the Moselle cycle path, which takes you via Pfalzel back to Germany's oldest city.
- Tip: Visit Pfalzel
