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.

View of Daun from Daun Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice bike path, the one on the edge of the forest. It can be driven very well and comfortably, is very varied due to the route and the changing landscape and is just plain fun!

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

After you have managed the first climb (don't worry, you can do it without an e-bike),
then it is just a pleasure, including the long tunnel.

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."

July 13, 2024,2024 07 13 Tagesetappe Eifel Maare-Mosel-Radweg Daun - Holzmaar

On the last day of the holiday the weather was better (18°, cloudy) and we cycled a short section of the Maare-Mosel cycle path before packing up. The route is on an old railway line from Daun to Bernkastel-Kues. If you cycle through to B-Kues you can take the bike bus back. Along the way there are numerous maars with …

July 20, 2024,Von Eckfeld nach Daun auf Maare Mosel Radweg Teilstück

Very nice, completely easy cycle path on a former steam locomotive railway line. At the narrow road crossings you have to be careful that the many incompetent cyclists, who are totally unsafe on e-bikes, don't drive too fast, don't take your right of way and knock you over because they think they have the right of way because of their …

The clock didn't run for the first few kilometers up to the mountain.
Tunnel to Gillenfeld sunshine.
Then dark clouds came again and in the direction of Strohn you saw a wonderful 🌈, which came up to the Banz closer …
