Here you cycle on gravel paths along the clear, gurgling Erft through green, mild nature. Splendid.

Erft River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Be careful when cycling along the Erft. Due to the flood catastrophe in 2021, some sections are still not or only with difficulty passable. Otherwise along the Erft pure nature.

Weilerswist Orchard Meadow Theme Trail

Highlight • Trail

The orchard meadow habitat is explained on numerous boards. The path is wonderful to explore both on foot and by bike, the landscape is very beautiful and lies directly on the Erftradweg.
