Cycling day trip from Luxembourg to Trier

This scenic ride takes you from the heart of Luxembourg City to the historic town of Trier in Germany, covering about 84 km of mostly smooth paved roads and dedicated cycle paths. You'll kick things off in Luxembourg, a city known for its dramatic cliffs and fortifications—don’t miss a quick glimpse of the old town before you pedal out!

The route is a rolling journey through the lush and hilly landscape of the Moselle Valley, with enough ascent to keep things interesting (about 1,145 meters), but even more descent on the way to Trier—so save some energy for the climbs, then enjoy coasting downhill as you approach your destination.

Almost the entire route sticks to asphalt and well-maintained paths, threading you through quiet roads, vineyards, and riverside stretches. Once you reach Trier, Germany’s oldest city, treat yourself to a stroll past the impressive Porta Nigra gate or relax in one of the cozy cafés. This is a perfect longer day ride for those who love a mix of history and beautiful countryside!
