Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Where bicycles roll today, trains used to steam. The historic railway line of the Ruwer-Hochwald-Bahn is transformed into the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg. Like the former railway line, the cycle path with a …

Covered bridge over the Ruwer River

Highlight • Bridge

The Ruwer-Hochwald cycle path is another highlight of the railway cycle paths in the Hunsrück. The 48-kilometer route from Trier / Ruwer to Hermeskeil is one of the most beautiful bike paths on railway lines in Germany.

March 28, 2025,Saarburg - Ruwerradweg - Saarburg 🚲🍻🍨🌞😎

A circular tour from Saarburg up to Zerf. From there, we took the Ruwer-Hochwald cycle path to the confluence of the Ruwer and the Moselle at Ruwer.

The Ruwer-Hochwald cycle path was quite boring to ride. At least at the time of writing, as the path continued monotonously downhill along the Ruwer through the forest. The trees are still bare …

A beautiful bike ride through magnificent nature.

We started again from our front door and then headed for the Saar River, where it flows into the Moselle, then downstream past Trier to Ruwer. We left Trier to the right today, so we'll take a special stroll there.

Queen's stage brought forward next week because of the heat.
The Ruwer up practically only uphill but very nice and shady.
Coffee and cake in my café in Saarburg was a must.

Today last day,
In the morning there was still residual fog on the Moselle, mystical...then we moved to the Saar and back to the Ruwer...
For me;; very nice, varied tours.
Tires changed twice, brake pads replaced, lots of things
Back without major damage...
Moselle.. Area very beautiful..

June 13, 2024,Trier - Bahntrasse - Saarburg Runde oder "Trier Tiere" Tour

Trier is not a bicycle city, the Romans did not have bicycles, so there is no bicycle DNA in Trier. You can visit Trier either by chariot (car) or on foot!
I tried to "do a little tour" of the sights by bike, possible - but chaotic. I also "only" found guided hiking tours on the Internet, there is no …

Challenging ascent from the Saar to the Hunsrückhöhenstraße, beautiful descent along the Ruwer on the former railway line to Trier and there with little traffic to the newly designed riverside path on the Moselle to Saarburg

September 22, 2021,Ruwer -Saar - Mosel - vorbei an Saarburg, Konz und Trier

The path on the Ruwer is easy to drive, but very monotonous. Saarburg is a beautiful, idyllic place. It is very beautiful further on the Saar. A visit to Trier is of course also a must. All in all, a passable tour, but some of it also leads past an industrial park, etc.

July 30, 2024,Von Saarburg nach Ruwer - Saarburg

Very beautiful cycle path along the Saar and Moselle. From Trier, the Ruwer cycle path is a delight. In the Trier area, the Moselle cycle path is closed due to construction work. The diversion leads along a narrow cycle path on a busy road. The branch off the Ruwer cycle path to Saarburg leads along side cycle paths with some …
