Today we are exclusively riding extensive Moselle loops through wine-growing areas with many steep slopes, the names of which are marked large halfway up. We see many wine villages whose village centers are now completely dominated by hotels, restaurants, and wineries

Today exclusively through the famous wine-growing region along the many Moselle loops to Trittenheim. Only annoying at the beginning. Crossing of an industrial area with diversions. Two short sections on the track of the former Moselle valley railway.

From Mettlach to Saarburg, a ride through the steep and narrow gorge where the Saar breaks through the western Hunsrück. Long sections only with space for the channelized Saar, a narrow cycle path, and the at least double-tracked railway line.

Sunny, light southerly wind, 27 degrees. The mix of industrial culture and lots of countryside with the highlight of the Saarschleife makes today's tour exciting. The path is well-developed everywhere, even with good detour markings, and therefore completely senior-friendly. Particularly idyllic path

Sunny, approx. 25° moderate wind from northern directions, initially unspectacular along the riverside road on bike paths. The final part of the stage, on the other hand, is spectacular again with steep slopes and beautiful close-up views of the mono-rack railways, which partly also overcome the vertical
