Saar - Moselle - Rhine

Day 1: Arrival in Saarbrücken

Stroll through Saarbrücken with its French flair, marvel at the fine confectionery shops, the St. Johann market with many pubs, bistros and restaurants, the old baroque houses and noble antique shops. An early arrival is worthwhile, the rental bikes are already at the hotel.

Overnight stay in Saarbrucken

Day 2: Saarbruecken - Mettlach, about 59 km

You cycle quickly on the Saar cycle path through the former coal mining area to Völklingen. You simply have to make a stopover here, because the “Völklingen Ironworks” is one of the 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Germany! A visit to the Völklingen Ironworks is like an adventure: deep into the dark corridors of the Möllerhalle and high up to the viewing platform at the blast furnace. Then follow the well-developed Saar cycle path through the beautiful Merzig region to the impressive Saar loop near Mettlach. Swap the bike for the walking shoes and walk up to the Cloef viewpoint. Only 30 minutes and the view of the Saar loop is simply breathtaking!

Day 3: Mettlach - Trier, about 42 km

Today you cycle leisurely along the Saar Cycle Path through a densely wooded area to Saarburg, where the castle towers majestically over the winding streets. Guided by the traces of the Romans, you cycle via Konz to Trier. Look forward to an individual tour of the historic city center, the Imperial Baths and the Porta Nigra.

Day 4: Trier - Piesport, about 46 km
