It is not without reason that the Vennbahn is a highlight among cycling enthusiasts, enjoy it from start to finish, with regular information boards, rest areas... Best to do in spring or autumn because of the views.

The 90-degree curves over the bridge and passage should not be driven too fast.

May 25, 2025,R/ST (5.2/7) „Saarland-, Luxemburg- und Belgientour 2025“ Troivierges -> Wiesenbach. Vennbahnweg entlang – [BL]Burg Reuland vorbei -> Wiesenbach. 29,7 Km. 300 HM.
Day 5.2
From Luxembourg City, we took the free regional train to Troisvierges. There, you'll find yourself directly on the Vennbahn Cycle Route, which I consider the most beautiful of all the railway cycle paths I've ever seen. However, it's also a predominantly scenic railway route. I think the pictures of the route speak for themselves.
The gradients along the …

Day 5 of the Saarland, from today onwards our own Vennbahn tour.
We decided to shorten the tour and only cycle from Troisvierges (plus a small prologue section beforehand).
This saved us 800 metres of elevation, which was really nice.
In Luxembourg you can use public transport for free, including by bike. So it was easy to do.
In Troisvierges …

Similar weather to yesterday, around 20 degrees. I drove this section of the Vennbahn in 2022, when cleanup work from the flood year of 2021 was still going on, in particular an arched bridge was under construction at the time. It's now finished and beautiful.

leads through the countries Germany 🇩🇪, Belgium 🇧🇪 and Luxembourg 🇱🇺. My starting point is the train station 🚂 in Troisvierges. Right at the beginning you have to cope with a decent incline ↗️, but then a …

Whit Monday and the last stage on the Vennbahn from St. Vith to Troisvierges is upon us. I had breakfast again in the Rechter bakery, as the Fonk was unfortunately closed.

This stage was also very nice and, for once, there was even sunshine at times. However, there were also dark clouds and a heavy downpour. Nevertheless, for me this …

Combination of stage 5 komoot.com/tour/736106255 and stage 6 komoot.com/tour/736107179 from komoot.com/user/ostbelgien in one day
