The former railway tunnel of the Eifelquerbahn near Mehren, known as the "Großes Schlitzohr," is part of the Maare-Mosel cycle path and offers a refreshing dip in both summer and winter. At 560 meters long, it's already astonishingly long.

View from Daun Viaduct

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

In addition to the "Großes Schlitzohr" (Great Slant Ear) tunnel, there's another cycling highlight in the region: the Daun Viaduct. Here, you ride over an old railway bridge with a height of 28 meters. The views are accordingly magnificent.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

After you have managed the first climb (don't worry, you can do it without an e-bike),

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."
