Wine village charm between Traben-Trarbach and Reil

From the Tourist Information, you ride leisurely along the water always following the bike path to Kövenig. A short stop at the harbor is certainly worthwhile. After Kövenig, continue on the K65 to Reil. Here you can take your first break and enjoy the view of the Moselle. Then you change sides of the Moselle and head in the opposite direction towards the town of Burg/ Mosel. There you enter the town. Many inns invite you to take a break here, and in nice weather you should definitely visit the water treading basin in the middle of the vineyards. Now a bit of stamina is required; from the town center, you ride uphill until you reach Enkirch Street. Following the street, you will automatically arrive in Enkirch. In this old half-timbered village, there is much to discover, best done on the Gässchenrundweg. Here too, numerous wine taverns and restaurants invite you to linger.

You get a completely different perspective of the Moselle afterwards with the crossing by the passenger ferry to Kövenig. From here, you return on the bike path back to Traben-Trarbach. At the weir, you can stop and go to the visitor viewing platform.

Always ride with a bike helmet

Depending on the weather, you should pack sunscreen and a rain jacket.

In hot weather, a detour to the water treading basin in Burg/ Mosel is worthwhile.

In Enkirch, you can explore the old half-timbered village on your own with the "Gässchenrundweg".
