The day's tour starts with an awe-inspiring ride along the Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and famous for its outstanding natural beauty. We also pass the Loreley Rock, where according to local legend an enchanting maiden lured navigators to their doom!
Our route continues on the superb quality roads that snake through rural countryside above the Rhine Valley. We then take a well-earned rest at the charming town of Trarbach, to take on refreshments and admire the scenery, before resuming our ride to Trier.
Trier has many remarkable Roman monuments that are still largely intact. The Porta Nigra (Black Gate), Constantine's Basilica and the Roman Amphitheatre are all well worth a visit. Trier is also a modern, thriving city with a large student population. The beautiful market square has a lively atmosphere and is one of the most striking in the whole of Germany.
On our return trip we ride some magnificent roads, including a short section of de-restricted autobahn, ideal for those wishing to blow away any cobwebs.
