    The Salm winds almost exclusively through the area of the Mosel Eifel from the Himmerod Monastery to its mouth in the Mosel near Klüsserath. The Salm cycle path creates the connection between the Maare-Mosel cycle route near Wittlich and the Mosel cycle route in Klüsserath. It passes through the geological formation of the "Wittlich Basin" and partially uses the Wittlich Basin cycle path. Further, it follows the Salm valley to Klüsserath, past fields and meadows and from Rivenich through the vineyards of the Mosel region. It opens up as a route of rural culture the castle in Dreis, remarkable churches and mills, farmhouses in the style of the Trier Einhaus and other regional special features such as representative vintner estates in the wine region.

    sights along the route:

    • Dreis: Baroque church St. Martin
    • Dreis: Dreis castle
    • Salmtal: Salm mill, district Dörbach
    • Sehlem: village square
    • Sehlem: parish church
    • Sehlem: old school
    • Esch: church
    • Esch: mill
    • Esch: village square
    • Rivenich: church and parsonage
    • Rivenich: wine museum
    • Klüsserath: former Kurtrier castle
    • Klüsserath: Echternach courtyard
    • Klüsserath: village square
    • Klüsserath: parish church

    Author’s recommendation

    In the villages along the connecting route between the Maare-Mosel cycle route and the Mosel cycle route, it is sometimes worth detouring from the path. Exciting village stories with numerous historic buildings and charming beer or cider gardens invite you to linger.

    Roadbook

    Requirement: The Salm cycle route is suitable for everyone - especially from Dreis to the Mosel - and also presents only moderate demands from the Mosel valley to the heights.

    Route character: The route runs mostly through flat terrain along the Salm; there is a short climb (150 m long / 50 meters elevation) immediately behind Rivenich. The cycle path is suitable, with some restrictions, also for children and for use with bicycle trailers and tandems.

    Route guidance: Outside the town via farm roads, in town streets without cycle paths.

    Surface quality: All paths are asphalted.

    Hallo Waltraud, danke für Deine Frage! Von Kröv kannst Du mit dem Rad über den Mosel-Radweg bis nach Zeltingen fahren. Alternativ kannst Du auch den Radbus (Linie 360) nehmen. Von dort aus kannst Du mit dem Radbus Maare-Mosel (Linie 300) oder mit dem Radbus Maare-Mosel-Express (Linie 555) bis nach Wittlich fahren. Alle Radbus-Verbindungen findest Du hier: https://radbusse.de/ Über den Radweg Wittlicher Senke erreichst Du dann den Salm-Radweg, über den Du wieder nach Klüsserath an die Mosel zurückkehren kannst. Ich hoffe ich konnte Dir weiterhelfen. Viel Spaß beim Radeln und beste Grüße, Julia
