Temmels on the Moselle Cycle Route

Temmels is located on the Upper Moselle in an area shaped by winegrowing and agriculture. The town has two settlement centres: the lower village lies directly on the Moselle, while the upper village is above the railway line. These names help you find your way between the river, the different parts of town and your arrival point. Several perspectives come together when planning your trip: cycle routes through Temmels, rail and bus connections, and the town’s history.

Cycling on the Upper Moselle

For cycle tourists, the Moselle Cycle Route is a useful reference point. You can reach Temmels by bike along the Moselle Cycle Route from Trier towards Perl and Luxembourg. The route through Temmels also connects with routes along the Upper Moselle towards the Middle Moselle, the Sauer and the Saar. The Nittel–Trier stage of the Moselle Cycle Route also passes through the town. These details indicate different directions to consider when planning your ride: the route from Trier describes how to reach Temmels, while the other connections show the regional course of the cycle route. Check current trail conditions before setting out on a specific ride.

As a stopping point on the Moselle Cycle Route, Obermoselperle is next to the sports field. It offers regional wines and a varied selection of dishes. Children can play on the adjoining sports field. If you would like to include a stop in your day’s plans, check the current offerings in advance. This lets you plan your cycling route and a possible break separately, without assuming a particular duration or schedule.

You can also explore Temmels on foot: the town offers hikes on developed trails, including the Hunsrückhöhenweg. Cycling and hiking are two different ways to include the landscape and surrounding area in your travel plans. Which one you prioritise depends on your plans; check current conditions on the trails.

Getting here by train, bus or car

You can reach Temmels by car from Trier, Metz and Luxembourg via federal highway B 419. The town also has its own stop on the Trier–Apach railway line, served by regular Deutsche Bahn trains. Bus route 134 connects Temmels with Grevenmacher and Luxembourg City. These options provide different ways to plan your journey, though the information does not indicate any specific travel time. If you plan to travel by train or bus, check the current timetable before departure; services and times may change.

When choosing a hotel in Temmels, it may help to first identify the routes that matter for your trip. If you are planning a bike ride, consider the connection to the direction of the Moselle Cycle Route that suits you. For travel by public transport, the station, bus connection and current travel times are the relevant points. If you are arriving by car, you can include access via the B 419 in your plans. These are different reference points for your search, not claims about the facilities or location of individual hotels.

Local history and Georgshof

Temmels has a long history: the town was first documented in 634 under the historical name “Villa Tamaltio.” From the Middle Ages until the Congress of Vienna, Temmels belonged to Luxembourg. The early form of the name and the later territorial affiliation highlight different periods in the town’s history, giving your stay a historical dimension alongside the routes through the region.

Another point of interest is the Baroque Georgshof. It was formerly an estate of the Teutonic Order in Trier and is of particular architectural and cultural-historical significance in Temmels. The complex has been listed since 1980. This makes it possible to explore the town’s history not only through its early mention but also through a named building and its historical context.
