Shortly before departure, our host suggested we cycle down to the Moselle through the idyllic Schrumpfbachtal, which is located just behind Metternich. The Schrumpfbachtal has always been characterized by its mills. These mills have been documented for centuries and were all leased in the Middle Ages

In Wierschem we swapped our cycling gear for hiking gear 🥾🥾🥾. We continued on foot to Eltz Castle, a beautifully preserved castle in a completely remote valley.
Eltz Castle is a hilltop castle from the 12th century and one of the most famous of its kind in Germany. It is located at 129 m above sea

Today's route was short - we cycled along the Moselle from Cochem to Wirschem. At Klotten we crossed the Moselle by ferry and cycled on the left side of the Moselle to Karden to the collegiate church of St. Castor. The Roman Catholic parish church is also known as the "Mosel Cathedral" and is the most

For a change, a climbing tour through the steepest vineyards in Europe! We chugged by train to Ediger-Eller. From there, we climbed steeply up into the legendary vineyards of Calmont. This 380-meter-high vineyard stretches along the Moselle loop between the towns of Eller and Bremm. The incline of the

Today, the weather was gloomy ☔ in Cochem and it was just right for us not to be on our bikes. Immediately after breakfast, the first thing we did was go to the Bundesbank bunker in Cochem. The bunker belonged to the Deutsche Bundesbank and was used to store an emergency currency. From 1964 to 1988

Despite the "extreme thunderstorm warning" according to the weather report, the sky was blue in the morning with a few wispy clouds. Well, you can't always rely on the weather report!?!
Anyway, after breakfast we continued along the Moselle towards Cochem, the secret capital of the Moselle region (that

This morning there were threatening clouds in the sky again. Somehow this year's summer hasn't really arrived yet. So we didn't let that discourage us and set off on our steel horses towards Traben-Trarbach.
Today, in addition to the wonderful area with its impressive vineyards, there were a few highlights

When we started our tour today from Trier to Piesport, the sky looked very threatening again. But the weather gods were kind to us and there was only a small splash of rain once. So it wasn't that bad.
This section of the Moselle was probably the most beautiful in terms of landscape so far. The Moselle

Today we followed the footsteps of the Romans in Augusta Treverorum. We started at the Porta Nigra, the actual landmark of Trier. The construction of the city gate as the northern entrance to the city of Augusta Treverorum began in 170 AD. The construction, which began under Emperor Marcus Aurelius

Our day began with an entertaining tour of the old town. The city guide told us various little stories and we were able to learn a lot about Koblenz. Now we know the background stories of the Schengels and the eye-roller 👀. After a good two hours of culture, we tiptoed to the cable car, which took us
