This guidebook provides 14 stages of route description to cycling
along the Moselle river, a route that offers stunning scenery,
plentiful accommodation and places to eat and drink, and
straightforward cycling throughout. A well-waymarked, generally
downhill 512km route, it is mostly off-road and on well-surfaced cycle
tracks (mainly asphalt) with virtually no gradients, and the majority
is along the riverbank or on canal towpaths. From its source in the
Vosges Mountains of eastern France, the Moselle flows through the
French region of Lorraine and crosses into Luxembourg then into the
German Rheinland region before it reaches its confluence with the
Rhine at the west German city of Koblenz. Suitable for both veteran
long-distance cyclists and for newcomers to cycle touring who wish to
start with an easy-to-follow journey, the route can be completed in a
week by fit cyclists, cycling two stages per day. Two weeks allow for
alternative stages and optional excursions through the Saar and Rhine
gorges and to visit the Boucles de Moselle and the city of Luxembourg,
and give enough time for sightseeing and a leisurely riding pace.
