The Mosel Cycle Route follows the Mosel River in all its bends and loops and through a variety of landscapes, mostly close to the riverbanks. Today's route takes you along the Middle Mosel from Neumagen-Dhron to Trier.
Before starting your bike ride in Neumagen-Dhron, a detour on the "Archaeological Circular Route" is recommended, which takes you through Germany's oldest wine village. Particularly worth seeing is the replica of the world-famous wine ship - a tomb from the 2nd century.
Back on the cycle path, you ride upstream on the right side of the Mosel towards Trier. Passing Trittenheim (on the opposite side of the river), you first reach the wine village of Leiwen. Then continue via Köwerich, Thörnich, and Detzem to Mehring, where a short detour to the Roman Villa Rustica is worthwhile.
Through Riol and Longuich, where the partially reconstructed Roman Villa Urbana can be visited, the Mosel Cycle Route leads you to Schweich.
Along the way, numerous seasonal wine taverns and wine estates invite you to stop. In Schweich, you cross the Mosel and follow the cycle path on the left riverbank through the Trier valley plain to the Roman city of Trier.
