Koblenz is nestled between the Eifel and Hunsrück, Taunus and Westerwald, surrounded by the Rhine, Moselle and Lahn rivers. There are endless possibilities and tours for mountain bikers.

Here in Koblenz, at the Deutsches Eck, the Rhine and Moselle meet. The rivers have created a landscape that offers bikers a huge arsenal of possibilities. Over the millennia, Father Rhine has dug a deep trench, the steep banks of which are teeming with trails. The Moselle to the west and the Lahn to the east have accomplished a similar feat. The three rivers separate four German low mountain ranges: in the north-west lies the Eifel. The maars are typical here: volcanic craters filled with water that are a good place to stop for a swim on a tour. The Hunsrück in the south-west is affectionately called the Hundsbuckel by its inhabitants. The Romans already cultivated wine on its Moselle slopes. The Westerwald in the north-east is just a rump mountain range. Wind and rain have honed its peaks into a rounded hilly landscape. The Taunus in the south-east is home to three nature parks. All of this can be reached by bike from Koblenz. In addition, the varied landscape is garnished with a mild climate that heralds the start of the biking season early in the year: the trees are already in full bloom here at the beginning of May.
