Itinerary

Day 1 (Saturday): Arrive in Koblenz.

Founded by the Romans, Koblenz is set at the famous Deutsches Eck (German Corner), where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet. Just a quick stroll around the town will highlight the appeal of Koblenz - its romantic narrow streets, historical squares and picturesque alleyways in the old quarter. Embarkation is from 4.00pm

Day 2 (Sunday): Koblenz to Cochem, 23 miles (37km).

The Fluvius takes you to Alken, where you mount our bicycles and cycle to Moselkern. A short detour into Elztal and a hike up to fortress Eltz. Then you rejoin the boat at Cochem.

Day 3 (Monday): Cochem to Zell an der Mosel, 22 miles (35km).

Beautiful Beilstein with its intact medieval historic old town belongs, together with Rothenburg ob der Tauber, to the historic treasures of Germany. During a city walk many historic details will be explained. This day comes to a gentle end in the wine growing town “Zell” with wine-tasting and a tasty dinner.

Day 4 (Tuesday): Zell an der Mosel to Bernkastel-Kues, 26 miles (41km).

Idyllic Traben Trarbach displays historic architecture at it’s best. Bernkastel is an ideal place to stroll on the stylish medieval market square. The quaint half-timbered houses clustered around the market square are typical gems of the Moselle region. After the city tour you join the boat again.

Day 5 (Wednesday): Bernkastel-Kues to Mehring, 20 miles (32km).

The route today takes you to Neumagen-Dhron, the oldest wine growing town of Germany. Lunch break on a wine-grower estate, afterwards cycle on to Mehring where the boat is waiting for you.

Day 6 (Thursday): Mehring to Konz, 22 miles (35km).

Via Pfalzel you cycle to Trier and then on to Konz, where you rejoin the boat. Opportunity to join a guided city tour of Trier (facultative). Roman emperors, bishops, electors and prominent citizens all left their mark on the town of Trier, as can be seen in it's magnificent art treasures and unique architectural monuments. The best known is the Porta Nigra, the massive Roman town gate.

Day 7 (Friday): Konz to Saarschleife, 31 miles (50km).

The Fluvius will transfer you to Saarburg, appropriately named “Little Venice” , famous for a 20m high waterfall in the middle of the city. Cycle tour to Mettlach with the porcelain museum of Villeroy & Boch. Cycle on to the Saar Bow a remarkable natural feature and enjoy unsurpassed views over the almost 360° river bend from a scenic viewpoint.

Day 8 (Saturday): Depart from Saarbrücken.
