GOING - COMING BACK - CONNECTING
GOING
The start of the cycle tour would normally be at APACH at the French-German border, the Mosel (French) being less friendly than the Mosel (German). But to facilitate the 'start' the best is to start in THIONVILLE. You can get there by TER or TGV very easily.
COMING BACK
The cycle ride ends in RØDBYHAVN in Denmark. for coming back:
- Ferry to Germany to Puttgarten (reservation not necessary)
- From Puttgarten station, take the train to Lübeck.
- In Lübeck you can choose between:
- Rent a van one-way at Sixt with return of the vehicle in a branch such as Offenburg. Then continue by train as below.
- Continue by train to Hamburg where day or night trains will take you to Switzerland via southern Germany. You can then disembark in Offenburg and take the TER to Strasbourg where all national SNCF connections are offered.
NOTE: The rental van solution may seem curious or even incomprehensible given its higher cost than the train. But the problem with 'coming back' is that, unlike 'going out', the date is not necessarily fixed several months in advance. And the very short notice booking, in the middle of summer, of places WITH undismantled bicycles is often impossible.…
CONNECTING
From Koblenz to Kassel the route is not particularly interesting. So it is best to skip this section. For this purpose the Deutsch-Bahn offers Koblenz Hbf - Kassel Hbf with a change in Frankfurt (Main) Hbf.
Otherwise the rental of a Sixt van is also possible.

ACCOMODATIONS
The entire hike was done in camping mode:
- In GERMANY the campsites are of good quality and cheap (13 to 25 €) :
- On the Mosel there are many campsites.
- On the Weser river there are many campsites in the meanders (up to Porta-Westfalica), less afterwards.
- On the NSCR there are not too many campsites.
- In DENMARK there are many campsites, of VERY good quality, well equipped (kitchens with cooking facilities, dining room or even lounge) but expensive (from 25 to 50 €). On the latter level the campsite is still by far the cheapest type of accommodation. Don't forget that wild camping is strictly forbidden.
GROCERY STORES
For food purchases, the best brands are in descending order:
- In Germany: Edeka, Rewe, Sky, Real
- In Denmark: Meny, Føtex, Fakta, Superbest, Spar…
In Denmark the openings are very favourable: most food shops are open 7/7 16h/day.
