The Moselradweg is a more than 300 kilometer long cycling route in Germany. It takes you along the twisting bends of the Mosel river between Metz in France and Koblenz in Germany, where the Mosel flows into the Rhine.

Biking in Norway: an amazing ride from fjord to fjell
Biking in Norway: an amazing ride from fjord to fjell It’s on a Monday afternoon when I open my mailbox and received an invite from Visit Norway. If I’d like to come biking in Norway.
