With its origins in the Vosges Mountains, the Moselle winds its way through the low mountain range over Lorraine, Luxembourg, past the border triangle and along the vineyards in Germany to Koblenz, from where it flows into the Rhine. Official signposts for the "Moselradweg” do not start until Thionville in France, however, where it is called "Le Chemin de la Moselle". The Moselle International Bike Tour follows the river for 193 miles (311 kilometres). Near Perl, the Moselle flows over the German border and into 150 miles (239 kilometres ) of flat terrain that you can traverse right alongside the river. From there, it flows from the Middle Moselle through a splendid wine-growing region and over to the Lower Moselle, a region that is characteristically dominated by vineyards. As a wine and nature lover, you’ll be hard pressed to find a region that surpasses the attractions of the Lower Moselle. Despite the low mountain ranges "Eifel' and "Hunsrück", which are separated from the Moselle, the cycle path runs quite evenly and is suitable for families. The complete cycle path is a great insight into the culture of three countries and offers plenty of restaurants and accommodation along the route.
The part of the Moselle cycle path that leads through Germany is recommended in the brochure "Deutschland per Rad entdecken" by the ADFC (German Cyclist's Association).
