Tips from the Community
The cycle path along the vineyards is quieter to cycle than the cycle path parallel to the road. The cycle path along the road is great for speeding. You have less noise and nicer views from the vineyard cycle path. Leads through Güls and Winningen, where a break and some sightseeing are also recommended. Beautiful idyllic places, at various festivals, such as this year's Gülser Blütenfest and 1250 year celebration, May 1st and others, there also the wutz is blocking in the illustrative.

A beautiful cycle path, with plenty to discover depending on the section. A detour off the cycle path is well worth it, especially before the first tunnel toward Polch.

This vantage point offers a fantastic view of the expansive Maifeld. Especially now in early summer, green fields, mown meadows, and somewhere a small village nestled among the hilly landscape.

I'll join in. The route is quite steep in places (e-MTB - no problem). The views are fantastic in several places. Relaxing loungers at a beautiful vantage point, but here it's in the blazing sun – too hot to rest.

A scenic forest path, beside a small stream. You ride under a canopy of deciduous trees on a beautiful forest floor. We were lucky; it was a Friday and there were no hiking groups around. It's worth it, like many parts of the tour.

The tunnel was part of the Maifeld Railway, a branch line of the Eifelquerbahn (Eifel Cross Railway), which was closed in the 1980s. Today, the tunnel is integrated into the Maifeld Cycle Path, which runs along former railway lines in the Maifeld region. The tunnel is paved and illuminated, making it attractive for both cyclists and hikers.
