Ruwer-Hochwald Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Where bicycles roll today, trains used to steam. The historic railway line of the Ruwer-Hochwald-Bahn is transformed into the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg. Like the former railway line, the cycle path with a length of around 50 kilometers connects the Moselle valley with the heights of the Hunsrück. It follows the course of the Ruwer, a tributary of the Moselle. Incidentally, this is also known for its excellent vineyards. He should not only cross seven bridges, but more than 20 times the bike will cross various types of bridge structures. Whether nature and technology, culture and culinary delights, wine and forest: there are many different things that the cycle path between the Moselle valley and the high forest has to offer.

Trier Cathedral (Cathedral of St. Peter)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral, made of Kordel sandstone, was badly damaged in the Second World War, but could be rebuilt relatively quickly. Above all, large parts of the cloister, the roof and vaults of the healing chapel and the roofs of the west towers were destroyed. The vaults of the cathedral were preserved, so that the damage to the furnishings was limited. The most important altars of the cathedral were also protected by cladding or walling.

Some of the war damage was repaired on a provisional basis, as plans for a redesign had been pursued for a long time, particularly in the area of the high altar, but these could not be implemented due to the war. In addition, it became apparent at the end of the 1950s that there were apparently considerable structural difficulties that could not be remedied with only superficial repairs. The cause was the rotten oak piles of the pile foundations of the late antique component due to the lowering of the groundwater level, but also the numerous renovations in later centuries.

Imperial Baths, Trier

Highlight • Historical Site

opening hours
Tuesday - Sunday: 10am - 6pm

The Kaiserthermen were planned as an imperial gift of a bathing complex to the people of Trier. After a halt to construction in the 3rd century, construction work on the Imperial Baths resumed in the 4th century AD. It was now planned to be used as barracks, possibly for the Imperial Mounted Guard. In the later centuries, the imperial thermal baths were converted and used as a castle, city wall and monastery. Excavation work on the remains of the monument began in the 19th century. In 1984 some windows in the apse were reconstructed. To this day, the Kaiserthermen are part of the city center of Trier. The proximity to the palace auditorium shows once again the huge dimensions of the palace district at that time.
