Base camp Trier (Upper Moselle Route)

From your accommodation in Trier, cycle to the Moselle and follow the right riverbank on the Moselle Cycle Route upstream. You pass the Trier lock and reach Konz marina after about 10 kilometers.

• Tip: Visit Konz

Behind Konz marina, keep right and cycle under the railway bridge on the Moselle Cycle Route. A campsite is on the left. After it, keep left and cross the bridge over the Saar confluence. Then follow the Moselle Cycle Route to the left, passing Wasserliesch to Oberbillig.

After passing through Oberbillig, continue on the Moselle Cycle Route. You pass the wine-growing villages of Temmels and Wellen and finally reach Nittel.

Now cycle further upstream on the Moselle Cycle Route, pass the communities of Wincheringen and Wehr, and finally reach the wine-growing community Palzem.

From Palzem, you return by train to Trier.

• In Oberbillig, you have the option to take a passenger and car ferry for a detour to Luxembourgish Wasserbillig.

Route tip:

If you still have energy in your legs, a detour to Luxembourgish Remich or to the Roman Villa Nennig with its famous mosaic floor is worth it.

Remich (approx. 5 kilometers one way): To reach Remich, continue along the Moselle Cycle Route. After about 5 kilometers, you reach the Moselle bridge at Remich. Before the bridge, keep left, cross the bridge, and reach the town of Remich.

Roman Villa Nennig (approx. 7 kilometers one way): You can also reach the Roman Villa Nennig via the Moselle Cycle Route, which you follow to Remich. After passing under the bridge, keep left and ascend to the main street. You are now on the Saarland Cycle Route. Follow this to Villa Nennig.
