Trier - a beautiful and meaningful city influenced by the Romans. The Porta Nigra is the best preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps, the Imperial Baths and the amphitheatre, which was built 100 AD and had a capacity of 20,000 spectators. On three cycle stages you can experience the beautiful Moselle, the famous Saar and sporty ambitious people can even cycle to the city centre of Luxembourg, which is considered one of the capitals of the European Union.

This trip is perfect for:

  • People who like to stay in one place but still want to experience impressive destinations.
  • People who are looking for variety. 
  • People who want to experience and enjoy nature.

Highlights

Porta Nigra
For the newly arrived guest, the Porta Nigra is the best place to begin a tour of Trier. 

Kaiserthermen
Going to the baths was an important part of Roman life: Over 1600 years ago, the Romans built one of the grandest and most impressive baths in the world: the Imperial Baths.

Cathedral Trier
The High Cathedral Church of St. Peter of Trier is the oldest episcopal church in Germany and the mother church of the Diocese of Trier. 

Saar loop
The nicest view you will find at the viewpoint Cloef in Orscholz. It is located 180 m above the river. But there are also beautiful views of the Saar loop from the banks of the river. 

Villa Rustica
Villa Rustica is a country house or estate in the Roman Empire. With its corner towers and the colonnaded hall, the villa reflects the Roman residential culture of the 3rd century. 

Roman Villa Nennig
Nennig is known for a Roman Villa urbana with a magnificent mosaic floor. The main building of the villa had a total width of 140 m; with the porticoes and baths, the magnificent palace measured 650 m in total.

Boating on the Moselle
From its source at the Col de Bussang in the Vosges mountains to its mouth at the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz, the Moselle covers a total distance of 520 kilometers - the distance as the crow flies between the source and the mouth is only 278 kilometers - and overcomes a gradient of 676 meters in altitude. A boat trip on the Moselle is a relaxing way to shorten a longer day's stage and enjoy the beauty of the landscape from a different perspective.

Tour

You should plan enough time to visit the historic city center, the Imperial Baths and the Porta Nigra. 

Today we recommend a train ride to Mettlach (duration 41 minutes). In Mettlach you should visit a world company, thousand-year history, centuries of tradition and trend-setting home décor- all this is encountered in the Villeroy & Boch adventure centre. We recommend to change to the left side of the Saar in Mettlach and cycle 4 km up the Saar in the middle of the famous Saarloop. Get off the bike and climb up to the Cloef on Schuster's rapping. From up here you can enjoy a fantastic view of the famous Saar Loop. Back on your bike, follow the Saar cycle path towards the Moselle. You should definitely plan a nice break in the interesting place Saarburg before you roll over Konz back to Trier.

Look forward to the beautiful and well-developed Moselle cycle path. You cycle comfortably in the flat past the Old Ferry Tower from Schweich to Mehring. Here we recommend a break at the historical remains of Villa Rustica before continuing on the way to Trittenheim. You can arrange the return trip to Trier individually, either by bike for the sporty riders or by boat from Trittenheim. Alternatively, cycle from Trittenheim on the other bank of the Moselle to Schweich (20 km). From Schweich you can go by train back to Trier. 

Today you leave your bikes at the hotel and experience Trier on foot on a city tour. Get to know the history of this wonderful city, which was already founded by the Romans. Visit the Porta Nigra, the remains of Roman bath houses, a stone bridge over the Moselle and many other sights.

Today you can explore the Moselle upwards. In the morning we recommend a train ride to Nennig (duration 40 minutes). Nennig is famous for it´s Roman villa and its beautiful mosaic floor. In 1852 a farmer came across mosaic stones that turned out to be parts of a representative Roman mosaic floor. The ground was probably in the large reception hall of a magnificent villa urbana. So you have the choice. Either you visit the Roman villa and then cycle 42 km comfortably on the Moselle bike path back to Trier or you cycle in the morning directly from Trier upstream to Nennig and continue the tour there with a bike trip to Luxembourg City (+32 km for sporty riders). In the evening you go back to Trier by train (duration 50 minutes).

Time passed too quickly. Trier has much more to offer. Book an extension of your cycling trip in Trier or follow the Moselle cycle path to Koblenz. It's worth it!

7 speed bike

We would recommend the 7-speed tourer for all those that are looking for a back-pedal brake and wide gel seat for maximum comfort in an upright sitting position. It is equipped with a simple hub gear shift and is perfectly suited to tours on flat to slightly hilly terrain.

27 speed bike

The 27-speed tourer is the best choice for cyclists that value the advantages of the dérailleur gear shift for flexibility whilst going up and down hills. This bike allows you to be a little more active without compromising on saddle comfort and practical everyday suitability.

E-bikes combine a lot of advantages. The electric drive ensures a completely relaxed cycling, even during long tours or on hilly routes. Other features, such as a suspension seat post and front fork plus well-tuned gears, ensure additional riding comfort.
