Luxembourg and the Moselle River Bike Tour

Starting in the city and grand duchy of Luxembourg, this is a fantastic mostly car free cycling route, almost entirely on paved bicycle paths. There are a few unpaved sections that are considered hard packed and very suitable to hybrid bikes, and some portions on shared use roadways however, the traffic is light and the terrain is easy.

Visiting castles, some wineries, and panoramic viewpoints usually involves some invigorating climbs and descents. This is one of Europe’s easiest and most peaceful bicycle tours. The banks of the Moselle River are lined with dazzlingly beautiful buildings – colourful houses, half-timbered shops, and medieval castles. Quiet lanes and bike paths follow its meandering course through vineyards over 1000 years old, and the history of the river is fascinating. The Vandals repelled the Romans for many years, but we can now see the evidence of Roman habitation, in the form of baths, roads, amphitheaters, and, of course, wine.

Because of its history as a contested boundary, the signs of battle include the many castles, twelve of which you will be able to see on this incredible ride. Charming inns, good food and wine, and consistently fabulous scenery make this a cyclist’s “bucket list” trip. Join us this year if you can!
