2 centre holiday

Luxembourg and the Mosel tour

Luxembourg is one of motorcycling's best kept secrets, with roads that wind along rivers and around hills, delivering countless fantastically surfaced corners that are practically deserted! There are wooded twisty sections similar to the Black Forest, cliff lined gorges, and endless beautiful countryside - bliss.

After an early morning start from Dover we ride through France and Belgium on a mixture of roads. Continuing into Luxembourg, our 3* hotel is well located in a popular town and is near to bars and restaurants although dinner is included each evening. When we arrive at the hotel you can park up in the underground garage, unpack and settle into your room for your three night stay and look forward to the rideouts ahead.

Our fabulous base in Vianden is overlooked by one of the largest fortified castles west of the Rhine that is certainly worth a visit, and we have planned Ride-out's through the Ardennes northwest to Bastogne and La Roche-en-Ardenne, south to Remich the pearl of the Moselle wine making region, returning through Little Switzerland.

From here we head to Cochem for a further four nights in this quaint little town on the banks of the Mosel river. Here we will have the option of a day off the bike, with a wine tasting at a local winery, and a scenic river cruise.
 
Or perhaps you want to scream off to the Nurburgring at a legal 150+mph along the Autobahn…or perhaps you will prefer to savour the gorgeous scenery as you ride past vineyards and castles on both sides of the Mosel in this truly beautiful part of Germany.
 
The next day we will see half-timbered buildings in abundance and our ride out to Bernkastel on the Mosel really is a picture postcard destination. The ride there through forests and valleys is a visual feast and the town itself is a real step back in time. Park your bike by the river and go for a wander through the delightful narrow streets. Sometimes a brass band or oompah band will be playing in the town square, so grab a bite to eat and settle back into an unhurried lifestyle that time seems to have  forgotten.
 
The next day we will ride-out cross country to Burg Eltz to see a castle that is still owned and occupied by the same family for the last 500 years - the setting in a remote valley made the castle impregnable so its period features remain intact. If you are into historical artefacts, then the Treasure Room and Armoury make an interesting afternoon diversion. The ride alongside the river is particularly rewarding, meandering along the riverbank with vast vineyards as a backdrop - you can see why the local bikers love it!
 
On the rest day we will arrange a river cruise and/or a wine tasting at a local winery, or for thoe that just want to ride we'll have another fantastic ride-out.

Our return journey takes a twisty route through Luxembourg and southern Belgium to our last hotel, a Chateau Fort at Sedan in France, carrying on the next day via the Ardennes National Park and Avesnois Regional National Park and Scarpe-Escaut Regional Nature Park to Calais, and the ferry to Blighty. Great riding, great food, great wine, and step back in time in this little corner of Europe.

This tour will spoil you with a vast array of wonderful roads, taking you to a marvellous array of places to visit, and interesting history across many centuries. Come with us - you'll love it.
