May 24, 2026,Trier-Collection: Tag 1 Mosel, Saar & Ruwer

River hopping deluxe: Mosel, Saar & Ruwer

MTB tour along the Mosel, Saar & Ruwer – Three rivers, one tour

Start in Trier right on the Mosel – where else. To warm up, we first went relaxed upstream before the turn-off to the Saar followed.

It is best to go clockwise on the tour, then you save yourself the climb behind Irsch,
easy tour as there is only 500 metres of elevation gain over 65 km

Hello, please do not follow the first section of the route from Saarburg to Vierherrenborn!!! Was a suggestion from Komoot. It is partly impassable and also leads up the single trails. There are better alternatives.

Actually more of a racing bike or gravel tour. Asphalt only! Bolts then fight up to Zerf.
