Challenging route past many scenic viewpoints over the Mosel valley
The route offers hobby mountain bikers and endurance athletes an ideal terrain. Gently rising stream valleys, steeply climbing heights, Mosel panoramas and wooded downhill terrain make this route a special experience.
The route starts at the Mosel riverside in Traben. From here it goes towards Kautenbach. Shortly after Hotel Jungenwald, turn left into the forest and follow the steep switchbacks. A drinking source at the beginning of the switchbacks is available to refresh yourself with cold water. The height is reached when you reach the stud farm. From here it continues via field paths up to the L190. Cross the road and go a short distance further to Starkenburg, until the path turns right. A relaxed section leads downhill through the forest, then another height is climbed, which ends in the village of Starkenburg. Behind Starkenburg it goes downhill again through the forest until you reach the Mosel. From here, follow the bike path back to the Mosel parking lot.
The path is marked with the signs shown and the number 2.
Particular caution is required when crossing the L190 and B53!
A ride is only recommended with mountain bikes. Due to the condition of the paths, touring and city bikes are unsuitable.
The place Starkenburg is suitable for a break. There are some nice restaurants here and the view of the Mosel valley is unique from here.

Free parking at the Mosel riverside parking lot.
