Mosel-Radtour mit römischen Flair

Mülheim on the Moselle

The tour starts in Mülheim on the Moselle. Through the former river bed of the Moselle you will drive on good paths on a relatively flat ascent through the vineyards to Veldenz. You drive through Veldenz and leave the village on the district road K 89 in the direction of Burgen, which you reach after only a few kilometres.Castles, which are in no way inferior to Veldenz in terms of romantic beauty, are often referred to as the "Little Venice of the Middle Moselle" because of their 19 bridges. You leave the wine village in southern direction on a small but well paved road. On steeply rising serpentines you cycle up the wooded slopes and finally reach the plateau, magnificent views included. With good visibility, the view extends far into the Eifel. The main ridge of the Hunsrück is still covered by the Haardtkopf, which you now have to conquer. On good paths, the route runs slightly uphill to Gornhausen at the foot of the Haardtkopf. You pass through Gornhausen and continue south - now on a well-surfaced forest path - climbing steadily in the dense forest to reach the summit ridge of the Haardtkopf. At the top, you will have a magnificent view over the Hunsrück. You roll further down to Merscheid. Shortly after Meerscheid you will reach the Dhron and the Nahe-Hunsrück-Mosel cycle path. Idyllically, this cycle path follows the Dhron from Fischbach on the Nahe River over the Hunsrück to the Moselle, the Dhron to its mouth in the village of the same name. From here you can also follow the signs of this cycle path. Via Hunolstein, Gräfendhron, Papiermühle and Dhron you finally reach the Moselle - not far from Neumagen. From here you can take the Moselle cycle path back to Mülheim.
