Koblenz invests in sustainable mobility: The Panorama-Höhenradweg Mosel

The Panorama-Höhenradweg Mosel: A milestone for Koblenz

In February 2026, the city of Koblenz decided to make a central contribution to sustainable mobility with the Panorama-Höhenradweg Mosel. The planned cycle path will be approximately 350 kilometers long and will stretch from Saarburg to Koblenz. It is designed for e-bike riders and touring cyclists, connecting viewpoints along the Moselle River and enabling both tourist and everyday use.

Implementation and financing: A regional collaboration

The cycle path will be implemented in close cooperation with Mosellandtouristik GmbH and several rural districts and cities. The cooperation agreement, which was approved by the city council, is a prerequisite for applying for funding from the federal program "Climate protection through cycling." The funding rate is up to 75 percent, and for financially weak municipalities, it can reach up to 90 percent.

Koblenz is contributing a share of approximately €12,800, while the total costs for the city are estimated at €58,511.53. The disbursement of the funding is expected to take place in 2027. The cycle path will be implemented over a period of up to four years, with a planned opening in 2030.

Infrastructure and safety: A comprehensive planning approach

The Panorama-Höhenradweg will not only have continuous signage in accordance with HBR criteria but also a wide range of supporting infrastructure. These include solar charging stations, bike service stations, drinking water dispensers, rest areas, and counting devices. The installation of counting devices is a key step in measuring the project's success in terms of traffic shift effects.

With regard to safety and traffic safety obligations, a maintenance concept has been developed. Municipalities are required to regularly inspect, clean, and maintain the paths. Special attention is paid to the traffic safety obligations on non-public access roads, as these are often the responsibility of the rural districts or the city itself.

Climate protection and mobility transition: A central impulse

The Panorama-Höhenradweg Mosel is a key project for reducing traffic-related greenhouse gas emissions. By shifting traffic from motorized individual transport to sustainable means of transport, Koblenz will not only support its climate protection goals but also contribute to regional value creation. The goal is to increase the length of tourists' stays while at the same time relieving existing cycle paths.

Conclusion: A project for the future

The Panorama-Höhenradweg Mosel is a milestone for Koblenz. It combines sustainability, tourism, and mobility and will significantly contribute to the development of the region in the coming years. With its implementation and cooperation with neighboring municipalities, Koblenz shows how modern cities can commit to a climate-friendly future.
