RouteXpert Review
Imagine starting your day with the deep sound of your engine and the smell of autumn in the air. The Moselle awaits you with its winding waterways and the vines in fiery autumn colours. This route from the picturesque Reil takes you past the Eifel and Hunsrück and brings you back to the soothing bends of the Moselle valley. As you ride through charming towns such as Bernkastel, Traben-Trarbach, and Beilstein, you can feel the history that this place breathes. The combination of winding mountain roads and views over the valley make this tour an unforgettable journey through time and nature.

On the way from Reil to Kröv you will soon reach your first viewpoint, where the Moselle meanders through the valley like a snake. From here you can admire the meandering river, surrounded by vast vineyards and forests. The view extends to the nearby towns of Wolf and Traben-Trarbach, giving you a panoramic view of the Moselle valley. It is an ideal place to take a break and enjoy the breathtaking landscape that the Moselle region has to offer.
At Bernkastel-Kues you will discover one of the most beautiful old town centres in Germany; you cannot help but stop and enjoy it. Bernkastel-Kues is a charming town on the Moselle and is often considered one of the most picturesque places in the Moselle region. The town is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, with half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, and the historic market place that seems to have come straight out of a fairytale. This town, which actually consists of two parts - Bernkastel on one bank and Kues on the other - is connected by a bridge over the Moselle.
The Market Square is the heart of Bernkastel with half-timbered houses from the 17th century, a Renaissance fountain, and cozy cafés. The square has an enchanting atmosphere, especially when it is illuminated in the evening or during the Christmas market in winter.
The Burgruin Landshut, this ruin towers high above the town and offers spectacular views of Bernkastel, the Moselle, and the surrounding vineyards. After a short walk up, you will get a glimpse of history and the beautiful landscape. Bernkastel-Kues attracts not only hikers and wine lovers, but also motorcyclists who enjoy the surrounding winding roads through the Moselle Valley and the nearby mountains. The town is an ideal stopover or starting point for adventurers who want to explore the Moselle region.
Then a beautiful viewpoint with a view of Traben-Trarbach and the Moselle valley. This panoramic view offers a wonderful view of the Moselle winding through the landscape, surrounded by rolling hills covered with vineyards and wooded areas. Traben-Trarbach, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and charming wine cellars, lies like a picturesque town on the banks of the Moselle, and from this point you can admire the town and its surroundings in all their splendor.
Here you can drink coffee with an overwhelming view.
Further on, Beilstein appears, a small, picturesque village on the Moselle and is known as the “Sleeping Beauty of the Moselle” because of its romantic appearance and well-preserved historical architecture. With its charming half-timbered houses, narrow alleys and the imposing Metternich Castle that towers above the village, Beilstein seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale. This picturesque village is very popular with tourists and day trippers, who come for the unique atmosphere and the beautiful view of the Moselle.
Then there is a wonderful view of the Mosel valley near Bremm and the famous Bremmer Calmont, the steepest vineyard in Europe. From here you have a breathtaking view of the Mosel, which meanders through the valley in a sharp loop, surrounded by steep slopes full of vineyards. The winding river and the surrounding greenery make this one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Mosel region.
And as if that wasn't enough, this route takes you to some of the hidden gems of the Moselle, where the landscape takes on an autumnal glow, especially in October.

The tour ends back in Reil, where you look back tired but satisfied on a day full of breathtaking views and historical treasures. This is not just any route; it is an ode to the Moselle and its secrets, perfect for both solo riders and groups who want to experience the adventure together.
Motorherberg de Waard is an atmospheric accommodation especially for motorcyclists, located in the picturesque wine village of Reil on the banks of the Moselle. The building, with a history of more than 300 years, originally served as a mayor's residence and has now been transformed into a cozy inn with modern facilities.

Rhineland-Palatinate (German: Rheinland-Pfalz, [ˈʁaɪ̯nlant ˈp͡falt͡s] (listen)) is a western state of Germany. It covers 19,846 km2 (7,663 sq mi) and has about 4.05 million residents. It is the ninth largest and sixth most populous of the sixteen states. Mainz is the capital and largest city. Other cities are Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Koblenz, Trier, Kaiserslautern and Worms.

Rhineland-Palatinate was established in 1946 after World War II, from parts of the former states of Prussia (part of its Rhineland province), Hesse and Bavaria (its former outlying Palatinate kreis or district), by the French military administration in Allied-occupied Germany. Rhineland-Palatinate became part of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 and shared the country's only border with the Saar Protectorate until the latter was returned to German control in 1957. Rhineland-Palatinate's natural and cultural heritage includes the extensive Palatinate winegrowing region, picturesque landscapes, and many castles and palaces.

Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes in the Eifel
The Eifel is the eastern part of the medium plateau Eifel-Ardennes. It is located north of the Moselle and west of the Rhine. The largest part is in Germany, a small part is in Belgium, in the East Cantons. The German part of Eifel is located in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The highest point is the Hohe Acht with 747 meters.

Several chains can be distinguished in the Eifel:
 The northernmost part is called the Nordeifel, which in Belgium connects to the High Fens;
 To the east of this is the Ahrgebirge, this part is located north of the Ahr in the Ahrweiler district;
 South of the Ahr is the Hohe Eifel (or Hocheifel), of which the Hohe Acht (747 m) is the highest point, and also the highest point in the entire Eifel region;
 To the west, near the Belgian border, the hills are known as Schneifel, part of the wider Snow Eifel area with peaks reaching up to 698 metres;
 South and east of the Hohe Eifel is the Volcano-Eifel, a volcanic area with many crater lakes (Maare).
 The southern part of the Eifel is less high. The area is bisected by streams and rivers running southwards. These streams flow into the Moselle. The largest of these rivers is the Kyll; the hills around this river are known as the Kyllwald;
 In the south, the Eifel ends in the Voreifel.

In the north of the Eifel there are some large reservoirs. The largest of these is the reservoir in the Roer that was created by the construction of the Roerdal dam.

The Nürburgring is also located in the Eifel, a well-known car circuit for Formula 1 races, among other things. Since 2004, part of the north of the Eifel has become the Eifel National Park. This National Park falls entirely within the German-Belgian nature park High Fens-Eifel. Another part of the Eifel falls within the South Eifel Nature Park.
