travel description
Day 1
Own managed arrival to Trier
View of Trier with Cathedral Trier and Basilica of Constantine

Your vacation begins in the midst of historic houses and buildings in Germany's oldest city. Allow enough time for a leisurely stroll through town. Visit the many small shops and larger department stores in the shopping streets. Toast your upcoming short vacation with a glass of sparkling wine in the middle of the main market at the winemaker's.

Our tip
Wellness and relaxation in the sauna garden at the Kaiserthermen

Day 2 - Bike tour Moselle Cycle Path
Trier to Mehring and back
View of Mehring and the Moselle from the vineyards

Today is your first bike tour. You cycle on the "historic cycle path" from Trier to Mehring, past meadows, forests and vineyards. On the way you stop at a vinotheque and fortify yourself with a cyclist's feast before you drive back to Trier. You can optionally make the way back by ship. Explore Trier's World Heritage Sites in the evening.

Day 3 - Bike tour Saar Cycle Path
Trier to Saarburg and back
Excursion boat on the Moselle

Up the Moselle you start from Trier along the Moselle to Konz and then change to the banks of the Saar. You follow the Saar Cycle Path to Saarburg. The cityscape is characterized by narrow streets, half-timbered houses, baroque buildings and a ruined castle that you can "conquer". Don't miss the view from a bridge over the waterfall in the middle of the city. You can cycle back along a wild and romantic oxbow lake of the Saar or, optionally, take a boat. You can end your last evening comfortably in one of the beautiful restaurants with a view of the Domfreihof.

Day 4
Own managed departure from Trier
Cyclists on the Moselle cycle path having a picnic

In the last few days you got to know the center of antiquity and one of the largest metropolises of the Roman Empire during your pleasure & wine bike tour. You strolled through the lively pedestrian zone and explored the surrounding countryside and wine region. We wish you a safe journey home!

Our tip
We recommend a combination with the Eifel-Moselle mini tour if you want to see more of the Moselle landscape.

For groups
This tour is also good for groups!

arrival parking

By public transport
Trier has its own train station, which is centrally located in the city and can be easily reached from all directions. You can reach most hotels from here on foot or using the well-developed bus network.

By plane
There are six airports within a radius of approximately 250 km around Trier - Saarbrücken, Luxembourg, Frankfurt/Hahn, Frankfurt, Cologne-Bonn and Düsseldorf. All airports have rental car locations. Alternatively, we are happy to offer you an airport transfer upon request.

By car / Parking
Trier is easy to reach by car. Most of our accommodations in Trier have a sufficient number of their own parking spaces or even parking garages. There is also a free public car park a short distance from the city center, as well as centrally located car parks with cheap weekly parking tickets.

types of rental bicycles

Two e-bike and two organic bike variants of the Haibike and Winora brands are available, as well as a tandem model - each matching to the size of the body. Bicycle helmets as well as children- and dog-trailers can also be loaned.

All types of rental bikes are equipped with the run-on flat tire "marathon" from the premium manufacturer Schwalbe. The bicycle rent always includes a lock and a pannier bag for daily luggage and a set of changing clothes.

For reasons of quality and reliability, the renting of rental bicycles handles a single specialized partner company for us only.

categories of accommodation

Accommodations - close to centre in mentioned places
Our centrally located overnight partners on the Moselle are selected middle and superior class hotels, guest houses and inns. All rooms have a bath / toilet or shower / toilet.

Accommodation category standard
In the standard category there are rooms in pensions and guest houses with simple furnishings. In Trier there are typical city hotels.

Accommodation category comfort
In the comfort category, we reserve 3-star accommodations for you. At the same time, the rooms are somewhat larger than in the standard category and have "extra" features. If necessary in a quieter location, with new equipment or with a balcony / terrace.

Accommodation category superior
The accommodations in the superior category are in the 4-star range and leave nothing to be desired in terms of equipment.

Single room bookings
In many cases, the single rooms booked in your accommodation are double rooms for single use.

Shelter for your own bicycle
All accommodation partners used for our bike tour programs have suitable storage facilities for bicycles. Charging the batteries of e-bikes is also possible.

general info

Holidays Major events
You should book a trip during the holiday weeks, to wine and street festivals or other major events in good time. There may be a surcharge, minimum nights or changes in the program.

Meals Half board Packed lunches
The travel price includes the corresponding rich breakfast for each night of our travel programs. Additional nights and extensions are also included breakfast.

The booking of half board and also packed lunches is possible via the "Additional services accommodation".

Additional nights Extensions
You can arrive earlier or extend your vacation afterwards. You can reserve additional nights as a pre- or post-night stay when booking your trip. Should you wish to stay one more night in a location during your trip, please let us know using the comment field of your booking or give us a call.

Bed tax Guest tax
We would like to point out that some cities levy a culture tax or bed tax. The fees will be collected directly at your accommodation.

List of accommodation
Specific accommodation names are not available prior to a fixed booking. The background to this is the possibility of daily arrival, which for us excludes the purchase of fixed room quotas. In addition, we work together with several accommodation partners per location – always matching the respective theme of the trip and the requirements of the individual booking.

Special food and accommodation
Necessary requests for special dietary or allergy-prone nutrition or physical limitations are communicated to our service partners with the fixed booking without obligation.

Short-term travel requests
Even short-term travel requests require a binding booking, as otherwise availabilities cannot be queried. If the trip is not possible due to a lack of availability, we will provide you with an alternative offer upon request. If you do not wish this, your booking will be canceled free of charge.

Invoice
A booking confirmation / invoice is issued to the travel applicant for each booking. If you are traveling as a group, but would like separate invoices, please make separate bookings, stating a group name. Subsequent splitting of processes and invoices is not technically possible.

Payment
The down payment is 30% of the travel price plus insurance premium (if travel insurance is also taken out) after receipt of the booking confirmation. The remaining payment is due four weeks before the start of the journey. For bookings less than 6 weeks before the start of the journey, the entire travel price is due immediately.

Travel documents
The travel applicant receives the travel documents and the service vouchers for all travel participants by post approx. 14 days before arrival - provided that the travel price has been paid in full. One set of travel documents is created for each room. This includes: a detailed day-to-day travel description, the hotel list with addresses and check-in information, maps with further tips for visiting and sightseeing, city and local maps, as well as recommendations for places to stop and an emergency contact list. In the case of short-term bookings and a foreign address, we will store the complete travel documents in your first hotel. You will receive the exact travel description including the hotel list in advance by email.

Travel insurance
We recommend that you take out travel insurance including travel cancellation, interruption, rebooking fees and luggage insurance. You can find further information on this under the item "explanations" "Travel Insurance" on our homepage.
