Reichenstein Viaduct on the Vennbahn

Highlight • Bridge

The viaduct at Reichenstein is an impressive structure! It doesn't matter whether you ride your bike on the Vennbahn above or below. The train used to be here, today it's cyclists and hikers.

Vennbahn Cycle Path (RAVeL L48) – Hautes Fagnes – Eifel Nature Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A fairly beautiful section of the Vennbahn cycle path runs here partly along the trolley track through the Venn.
