Insanely beautiful view of the Schönecker Schweiz, little traffic and good asphalt. Very beautiful view of the green hills of the Eifel.

Near Mürlenbach, the Kylltal cycle path leads over this narrow bridge. From here you have a beautiful view along the stream and over the wooded slopes.

The route from Densborn to Mürlenbach leads through the quiet, pristine nature of the Eifel. As a cyclist, you can feel the peace of the valley, while the Kyll babbles beside you and the green slopes appear like gentle waves. Past small half-timbered houses and through picturesque places where time seems to have stood still. Halfway there is a view of the mountain ruins of Mürlenbach - a piece of history that rises majestically above the valley. The perfect place to take a short break, breathe in the air and let the Eifel feeling sink in.

October 29, 2024, View of Bertrada Castle

Bertrada Castle is a fascinating piece of history that is anchored in the region. The assumption that it was built on the remains of a Roman fort gives the place a mystical touch, even if there is no clear evidence for this. The connection to Bertrada, the mother of Charlemagne, gives the castle a special historical significance, even if the first documented mentions only appear in the 13th century. The castle's eventful history, in particular its occupation by the French revolutionary troops, shows how strongly the political currents of the time shaped the region.
