If you don’t feel like cycling, stay aboard the ship!
On the river Moselle with the MS Olympia - that’s a somewhat different way to experience this holiday region beloved for generations. Ancient Roman history, medieval townscapes and the omnipresent viticulture on this regions’ typical steep slopes shape the foundation of this tourist destination, which seems to be constantly reinventing itself. Generous hospitality and Moselle-Franconian cheerfulness await you between Trier and Coblenz, which in itself is worth a visit if you fancy a brief detour up the river Saar. This tour on the Patria along the Moselle is perfectly suitable for untrained cyclists, your starting point is Saarburg.
Here you can find further information on the MS Olympia.
