Cycling day trip from Trier to Mehring

This scenic ride takes you from Trier, Germany’s oldest city, all the way to the charming wine village of Mehring along the Moselle River. You’ll cover just under 22 kilometers, weaving through picturesque vineyards and lush riverbanks—a true treat for anyone who loves riverside cycling.

Starting in Trier, you’ll set off from a city packed with Roman treasures like the Porta Nigra and the ancient amphitheater. The route is mostly paved and smooth, with just a hint of adventure over paving stones and a touch of unpaved paths. You’ll climb a respectable 325 meters, but the views make every pedal worth it, and there’s a gentle descent as you approach Mehring.

As you arrive in Mehring, get ready for lovely views of rolling hills and perhaps treat yourself to some local Riesling—the area’s specialty. With mostly paths and quiet roads, expect a relaxed ride away from traffic. Take your time, soak in the Moselle’s beauty, and enjoy two gems of Germany’s wine country!
