Echternach Border Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

We passed here on our bike tour from Bitburg to Echternach. In my opinion, this cycle path is not as heavily frequented as the Kyll cycle path or the Maare Mosel cycle path, so cycling is more pleasant.

July 5, 2024,VeloRoute SaarLorLux Etappe 12 - Konz, Luxemburgische und deutsche Sauer 🚄🚴🌊🌤️💮🌸💐🏰🛥️🚄

Today I'm taking the Germany ticket to Konz, cycling over the Moselle bridge and along the river to the mouth of the Sauer.
I'm enjoying the fantastic views of the renaturalized Sauer and immersing myself in nature. The path is peppered with views of the many small islands that have been created by the cross-border, ecologically oriented flood protection. The …

Today, the journey was the reward: the routes on both sides of the river in the beautiful Sauer valley are excellently developed and allow for quick and comfortable biking, mostly off-road. This applies in particular to the Luxembourg side. Beautiful places like Rosport above a barrage line the path and wine farms also invite you to take a break.

October 2, 2024,Vom Campingplatz Wasserbillig entlang der Sauer auf deutscher Seite bis Echternach, zurück auf der Luxemburger Seite

A very beautiful, varied tour.
On the German side, the route runs almost entirely along the Sauer. The paths are in good to very good condition.
From Echternach, the route goes back on the Luxembourg side through lovely nature and small villages. The route runs mostly along the main road, but that doesn't detract from the whole experience.

March 21, 2025,🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Echternach 🇱🇺 mit ☕️🍵🍰

Unlike some major German construction sites (highways, airports (B), and train stations (S), the repair work on my SUV was completed on time and within budget.
So nothing stood in the way of a coffee and cake trip to Echternach.

The cycle path follows the Sauer between Echternach and Wasserbillig, sometimes on the Luxembourg side and sometimes on the German side.
We started at the bus station in 'Igel'. This municipality is on the left bank of the Moselle, west of Trier and close to the border with Luxembourg.
From "Wasserbillig" we first went onto the old railway line, today's …

April 25, 2025,🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂ nach Echternach 🇱🇺 mit ☕️ und 🐌

Today, it was mainly my wife who pushed a lot of 🐌 from the bike path into the meadow. Hopefully, the snails even wanted to go there. It always reminds me of an episode of "Married with Children" where neighbor Steve rescued a turtle 🐢 from an aquarium and released it into the lake. Unfortunately, it was a saltwater turtle. …
