Moselle Cycle Path Near Riol

Highlight • Cycleway

The landscape on the cycle path is very varied. Since both sides of the Moselle are easily accessible, you should plan to change sides every now and then.

View of the Moselle River and vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

The third stage of the Moselle cycle path presents itself entirely in the spirit of the ancient Romans. The starting point is Trier - a true treasure trove of Roman architecture that still has a decisive influence on the cityscape. The cycle path leads over the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge along the left bank of the Moselle, first to the district of Pfalzel, which was the summer residence of the Roman emperors for a long time, and finally to Schweich with its baroque ferry tower. Here the cycle path changes to the right side of the Moselle and the landscape slowly changes from the open to the narrowing valley. At the stage destination in Mehring, the Villa Rustica - a reconstructed Roman estate - is waiting to tell the story of the luxurious everyday life of the Roman settlers.

View of the Moselle Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Moselle region may not be the largest, but it is one of the most famous and, above all, the oldest of the 13 wine-growing regions in Germany. It begins at the German-Luxembourg border and ends about 240 kilometers later, just before the mouth of the Moselle in Koblenz.

Alter Krahnen Trier

Highlight • Monument

The Alter Krahnen, also known as the Trierer Alter Moselkran, is a harbor crane in Trier. It is a stone construction from 1413 and stands on the right bank of the Moselle, on what is now Krahnenufer. The crane is built as a tower crane with two running wheels, a double outrigger, a 360° rotatable cone roof with a vertical wooden axle on an iron pin and a chain drum with chain and simple pulley. The carrying capacity is estimated at one to two tons.

The Alter Krahnen is a cultural-historical, industrial and economic symbol of the city of Trier. Together with the Danziger Krantor from the 14th century, the Alter Krahnen is one of the oldest lifting devices of this type in the former German-speaking area, of which there were more than 30 on the Rhine and its tributaries alone in the 16th century.

More than 350 years later, the Alter Krahnen served as an example for the Zollkran, which is about 250 meters upstream and had to relieve the predecessor with its two outriggers. This younger harbor crane was in operation until 1910. However, the Alter Krahnen was renovated in the 18th century and equipped with a second girder. To date, it is fully functional, but since the filling of the Moselle, it is no longer close enough to the water.

August 20, 2022,29. Tour 22, nicht zu empfehlen, mehrere km Fahrt durch Industriegebiet, Moselradweg – Schöne Weinberghänge Runde von Riol

I can't recommend Stuck.
Several km through the industrial area of Trier and the Moselle crossing leads through the city.

June 14, 2025,Von Longuich über Konz nach Longuich

Today, due to the thunderstorm warning, we only had a short 52km ride along the Moselle. We started from Longuich on the other side of the Moselle, past Trier to Konz, then over the Moselle bridge to Trier, and then back to Longuich. The return route used to be quite bumpy due to cobblestones, but now it's newly paved, making …

October 5, 2022,2022-10-05 Ausflug Trier

Trier was on the agenda today. The paths were well signposted and almost entirely paved. Started around noon today, the sun was still a little long in coming. It finally got through in Trier and I was able to drive in a short-sleeved shirt. Almost all important (Roman) highlights were in the program.

May 20, 2023,Moselradweg von Mehring nach Trier u. z.

It's about to start... we're spoiled for good signposting of cycle paths! On the right-hand side in the direction of Trier, we walked partly through the vines, also on service roads. From time to time there was no signage for the "cycle path" and suddenly you were in a dead end 😳 well...we have time and vacation...so don't get excited, …

March 19, 2026,Mehring - Trier

Today we cycled 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️ to Trier. On the way there we took the western bank of the Moselle and back the eastern bank 🏞️.

The Moselle cycle path from Trier to Schweich is not recommended on the eastern side (right bank of the Moselle), as you have to cycle a lot next to the motorway. From Schweich to Mehring, the …

And off we go on the wild Moselle cycle tour 😂. From the camper place in Mehring we go to Trier. A city worth seeing 😍! On the main square was a group to draw the beautiful historical buildings, which delicate, focused and concentrated work. That fascinated me. In nature, too, I keep seeing our creator's filigree work and I'm …

June 18, 2022,Moselradweg – Runde Trier - Schweich - Trier

Up the river in the direction of Schweich along the Moselle it is wonderful to drive, down the river there is unfortunately a lot of residential and industrial area. Access to the bridge in Schweich is behind the campsite, Komoot wrote to me there, so a bit of "sightseeing" between mobile homes, camping chairs and charcoal grills 😂
