E-Bike: Tälchen-Tour

Bike experience, wine landscape, cultural highlights!

From the town of Konz, where the Saar and Moselle rivers meet, you cycle on the heights through the districts of Konz and along sunny paths through the wine villages of the Konzer Tälchen. Here you experience the Konzer Tälchen in its wine-rich beauty. Further downhill towards Wiltingen, you reach the Wiltinger Saarbogen nature reserve.

Via the flat Saar bike path, you reach the small town of Saarburg with many cultural highlights. We recommend a detour to the waterfall in the town center and a visit to the castle complex. The return route runs through the romantic Mannebach valley, continuing towards Tawern (tip: Roman temple complex and Vicus), and back to Konz.

You start at the Tourist Information Konz, Saarstr. 1.

Through "Brückenstraße", passing the Konz main train station on the left, you reach the roundabout/ "Paul-Magar-Platz". Take the third exit. At the next intersection, follow the bike signs by turning right onto "An der Lichtsmühle" street and continue through "Lindenstraße" to the Konz indoor swimming pool. Here begins the bike path through the Konzer Tälchen, which owes its origin to the former Moselle river course around the Kommlinger Berg.

Cycle past the Marienkapelle over "Falkensteinstraße" towards Niedermennig. A short detour to the oil mill is worthwhile here. Through the village center ("Kapellenstraße" - "Zum Sonnenberg" - "Blumenwiese") you reach Obermennig ("Im Sonnenschein" - second street on the right "Zum Weiher").

Leaving the village, follow the bike path left to Oberemmel ("Agritiusstraße"). Turn left at Maximinerplatz. Via the street "Im Großengarten" you go downhill along the vineyards through the wine village of Wiltingen. At Klosterbergstraße, cross the railway tracks and follow Kirchstraße and Saarstraße to the Saar bike path. After the underpass, turn left and follow the Saar bike path over the Schoden weir further upstream to the small town of Saarburg. Visit the historic old town with waterfall and Amüseum, bell foundry museum, mill museum, or the castle complex high above the town.

In Saarburg, cycle through Graf-Siegfried-Straße. At the roundabout at the Tourist Information/ town hall, take the first exit towards Mannebach (street: Kunoweiher). Through the Mannebach valley, follow L135 until just before Mannebach—there turn right onto street K112 and follow it towards Tawern. Before the village, turn left and reach Tawern, passing the Talbach hut. In Tawern (tip: Roman temple complex and Vicus), cycle through Bachstraße - Römerstraße - Kapellenstraße and follow the bike path past the cemetery and further through the forest to Konz-Könen. Via the street "An der Granahöhe" you reach the roundabout. Take the third exit and cycle through the street Am Wiesenkreuz - Obermoselstraße - Konzerbrück and over the Saar bridge back to the starting point (tip: a few meters behind the Saar bridge is the confluence of Saar and Moselle).

Electric bike charging stations can be found along the way in:

• Konz at the train station in Bahnhofstraße (Bike & Ride Box) as well as at Brunoplatz/Brunostraße 24 in the Karthaus district.
• Saarburg at the ship landing stage, at Boemundhof, and at the city parking lot/House of Associations.

Have fun cycling!
