Cycling fun through the wine villages of the Konzer Valley to Saarburg

You start at the Tourist Information Konz, Saarstr. 1.

Follow the bike signposts and turn right at the next intersection through the street "An der Lichtsmühle" and continue through "Lindenstraße" to the Konz indoor swimming pool. Here begins the bike path through the Konzer Valley, which owes its formation to the former course of the Moselle around Kommlinger Berg.

Cycle past the Marienkapelle, over "Falkensteinstraße" towards Niedermennig. A short detour to the oil mill is worthwhile here. Through the village centre ("Kapellenstraße" - "Zum Sonnenberg" - "Blumenwiese") you reach Obermennig ("Im Sonnenschein" - second street on the right "Zum Weiher").

Leaving the village, follow the bike path to the left to Oberemmel ("Agritiusstraße"). Admire the old manor houses. At Maximinerplatz turn right.

After the bridge turn left and cycle along the Saar bike path over the dam at Schoden, which serves to regulate the water flow and generate electricity. Further upstream to the small town of Saarburg. Visit the historic old town with waterfall and amusement museum, bell foundry museum, mill museum or the castle complex high above the town.

After crossing the old town bridge, you travel downstream on the Saar bike path to Ayl-Biebelhausen. Looking at the other side of the Saar, the Bismarck tower rises above the wine village Schoden.
Before the bridge turn left off the Saar shore and cycle over "Saarstraße" - "Saarburger Straße" - turn right at "Im Peterfeld" - continue left over "Biebelhausener Str." to the wine village Ayl. In doing so, you bypass the Umlaufberg Ayler Kupp – a world-famous vineyard where top-class Saar Riesling wines grow. At the village exit follow the farm road on the right, which runs parallel to the B51. Leave the path to the right towards Wawern. In the vineyards above the village, the village settlement history of Saar and Moselle is exemplarily presented on a 4.8 km long circular historical trail at authentic sites.
Through the village centre you pass the former synagogue and reach the Saar again via the street "Unterm Herrenberg". Behind the bridge, cycle downstream and cross the lock system at Kanzem. Follow the bank bike path to the right towards Konz-Könen. On the opposite river side, you see the baroque church from 1720 in Filzen-Hamm.

At the entrance to Konz-Könen, leave the Saar bike path and cycle through the residential area, past the church and turn right into "Könener Straße". At the roundabout you turn right again onto the Saar bike path. A few meters behind the Saar bridge is the confluence of Saar and Moselle. Cross the bridge and you are back at the starting point, Tourist Information Konz.
