The circular route starts in the Saar-Moselle town of Konz. You cycle through the wine villages of the Konzer Tälchen, continue on the Saar bike path to Saarburg and back through the Mannebach valley.
Cycling experience, wine landscape, cultural highlights!
From the town of Konz, where the rivers Saar and Moselle merge, you cycle on the heights through the districts of Konz and over sunny paths through the wine villages of the Konzer Tälchen. Here you experience Konzer Tälchen in its wine-rich beauty. Further downhill towards Wiltingen, you reach the Wiltinger Saarbogen nature reserve.
Via the flat Saar bike path you reach the small town of Saarburg with many cultural highlights. We recommend a detour to the waterfall in the middle of the old town and a visit to the castle. The way back goes through the romantic Mannebach valley, further towards Tawern (tip: Roman temple complex and vicus) and back to Konz.
