Cycling the
Mosel & Rhine Valleys

78 minutes DVD/NTSC
Only $29.95
The Mosel and Rhine Rivers are dotted with
charming towns and medieval castles, and connected with bicycle paths and
bike-friendly roads, just waiting for you to explore. Until the eighteenth
century, rivers were the main routes of travel and the castles, or “Burgs”, were
tariff collection points by sometimes unscrupulous landowners. Their spectacular
mansions line the banks of these rivers, in a display of the best achievements
of German gothic architecture. The region is also known for its Roman history
and a wine industry that dates to the Roman times. Each town on the route has
its own special brand of Mosel or Rhine wine. This route is an ideal one for all
levels of cycling experience. Mostly level on dedicated bike trails, it covers
154 miles in nine days of riding.
