Viezstrasse - The Cider Route - Cider Tradition

The orchard fruit culture and the Viez have created a unique tourist route, the Viezstraße (Cider Route). It leads from Saarlouis and Merzig on the Saar to the Moselle city of Trier. The road is 150 kilometres long, a paradise for cyclists and hikers. It leads through a unique landscape and through villages where you can still discover traditional rural life. Along the way, guest houses invite you to linger. Local producers offer their products, be it honey, jam or Schnaps.

A drive along the Viezstraße is a real discovery tour with numerous sights, such as the unique, authentically reconstructed Roman villa in Borg and the largest mosaic floor north of the Alps in Nennig. The Sculpture Trail "Steine an der Grenze" (Stones on the Border) near Merzig and for fans of tractors the Bulldog Museum in Kreuzweiler. Not to mention the numerous tourist attractions in Trier.

The Viezstrasse season traditionally opens in April. Until autumn, there are numerous Viez, apple and apple pressing festivals along the road, as well as farmer festivals with predominantly regional products, open house days, public cider tastings, accompanied noble distillate tastings and much more.

Details activities along the Viezstraße are provided by the tourist offices of the participating cities and municipalities.
