Grünewald Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The Maare-Mosel cycle path is wonderful to master even for inexperienced cyclists and is peppered with interesting highlights such as this former railway viaduct. A detour to the Eifeler bell …

Grünewald Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The 126-meter-long, super-great tunnel offers a nice way to cool off in the summer. It is well lit throughout and in the evenings and at night, with a bit of luck, you can even see bats.

Through the 'Große Schlitzohr'

Highlight • Structure

A truly amazing experience for young and old. Turn on the lights – even though the tunnel is lit.
And in hot weather, it's like riding through a "refrigerator."

Pleiner Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

You can already feel the cold about 50 m before you reach the tunnel. The temperature in the tunnel felt like 20 degrees lower than the actual daytime temperature.

The Maare Mosel Cycle Path is a beautiful cycle path, off the beaten track and always paved. It runs from the Daun train station, where you can have some refreshments before the journey, along an old railway line to Bernkastel Kues. Initially you drive through the Vulkaneifel over beautiful viaducts and through several tunnels to Wittlich. From Wittlich it goes …

September 17, 2023,Maare Mosel Radweg Wittlich - Daum

The Maare-Mosel cycle path starts at the historic train station in Daun and leads from the Vulkaneifel via Wittlich to Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle.
The well-known cycle path is one of the most beautiful in Germany. Selected highlights along the asphalted route include the maars, two breathtaking viaducts and four historic railway tunnels. The route along the former railway line …

Hi guys, we started from Daun. This has the advantage that there are only inclines to overcome at the beginning. After that it is only slightly downhill to Bernkastel-Kues. The tunnels are really great, but caution and lighting are highly recommended. Great route with unfortunately few sights. There is a great farmer's butcher's shop in Hasborn.

A dream bike path. We had the bike bus chauffeur us up (about €44 for two people with a bike). The entire route was very well signposted and excellent to drive. The whole time it went on an old railway line through forests, gorges and tunnels. One of the most beautiful routes I've ridden by bike.

What a tour!
From the old Daun train station in the Vulkaneifel, the route goes almost 60 km down to Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle, mostly on an old railway line.
You cross two wonderful viaducts (unfortunately you have to bypass a third, apparently dilapidated one), drive through four former railway tunnels that are well lit (two of them with suspended …
