The Moselle Cycle Route

This is the first guidebook to cycling the beautiful Moselle river 512km through France, Luxembourg and Germany following a well waymarked route on good and largely flat surfaces, accessible to cyclists of all abilities. Rising in the Vosges Mountains in eastern France, the Moselle flows roughly north through the French region of Lorraine and the German Land (state) of Rheinland-Pfalz. Once in Germany it follows a deep meandering gorge between the Hunsrück and Eifel Mountains before joining the Rhine at Deutsches Eck ('German corner') in Koblenz. The route is described here in 14 stages - easily tackled in a week - with alternative stages and optional excursions through the Saar and Rhine gorges and to visit the Boucles de Moselle and the city of Luxembourg. The guide is illustrated with unique, detailed and clear route and town maps and full of extra information about local history and culture, as well as practical tips and contact information for tourist offices and accommodation providers.
