The Moselle rises in the French Southern Vosges at the Col de Bussang, touches the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and after around 550 kilometers flows into the Rhine at the Deutsches Eck. The official signage for the Moselle cycle path begins in Thionville, France, as “Chemin de la Moselle” and ends 275 kilometers further in Koblenz. The German Moselle cycle path starts in the small town of Perl and runs on mostly asphalted routes separated from car traffic, largely without gradients and close to the river bank.

All sorts of interesting facts about history and culture

The international cycle path offers a good opportunity to discover the similarities and differences between the three countries. You cycle through varied landscapes on well-maintained premium routes and learn all sorts of interesting facts about German, French and Luxembourgish history and their culture.

Right on the border between Germany, Luxembourg and France, you cross the border triangle with the small wine-growing town of Schengen, which is known for the “Schengen Agreement” and therefore as the cradle of a borderless Europe.
