Impossible route. Had to adjust the original route several times because cycling was impossible in some parts. It would be easier to just follow the signposts

August 21, 2021,Chemin de la Moselle/Moselweg Tour from Perl (DE) to Thionville (FR) / only recorded one way, round trip tour was 64km

Pleasant trip along Moselle River, paved bike path, shared with pedestrians and skaters. For those who want to take a rest and enjoy local / French food, best options and variety in Thionville, some in Sierck-les-Bains and 2 or so along the way. Place du Marché in Thionville is a nice place to sit, relax and enjoy a beverage or …
