Fall is here, the trees are changing color, and the leaves are falling. It’s high time for this year’s 4th Projekt Karl Social Gravel Ride.
And this time, there’s something special: a collaboration between Projekt Karl and the Gravel Club Trier!
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., we’ll set off together—Projekt Karl and the Gravel Club—from the Südbad in Trier (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gKCsFisANK7PqUCs8).
We’ll then ride through the Mattheiser Forest and the Konzer Tälchen valley to the Saar River.
In Wiltingen, the routes will split: Projekt Karl will continue over the hills—always with beautiful views of the Saar—to the Cloef in Orscholz, which offers a breathtaking view of the Saar Loop.
The return trip will then take us over the ridge of the Saargau.
The Gravel Club will ride from Wiltingen along the old arm of the Saar through Ayl to Mannebach and then rejoin the main route.
On the long route, we can restock our supplies at the Rewe in Orscholz.
The long route is approximately 110 km with about 1,700 meters of elevation gain: https://www.komoot.com/tour/3353664893
The short route is about 53 km with approximately 800 meters of elevation gain: https://www.komoot.com/tour/3355746531
Free parking is available at the Südbad: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5KkCiV7QpAshjh1Q7
