Rennweg Cycle Path in Naturpark Hohes Venn-Eifel

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Coming from Großhau, the trail is initially somewhat hilly. However, once it slopes westward, it's all downhill to Schevenhütte.

Vennbahn Cycle Path: Raeren–Schmithof

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennbahnweg is a cross-border long-distance cycle route between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg of approx. 130km.
It is the longest cross-border, contiguous cycle and hiking trail in Europe on disused railway lines.
The signage is excellent.
It goes from Aachen in Germany to Troisvierges in Luxembourg. You drive through the Eifel and foothills of the Belgian Ardennes, mostly with a slight incline, mostly a very good route quality and rare interruptions.
You get to see a lot and can enjoy a lot of nature.
I already drove the Vennbahnweg back and forth, it was really worth it this multi-day tour to companies.
At the weekend, more traffic is expected, especially in the Aachen area, consideration is then required.

Vennbahn Cycle Path at Raeren Station

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Vennbahnradweg is a cross-border long-distance cycling route between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, which runs along the route of Prussia's former Vennbahn over approximately 130 km from Aachen through the Hohes Venn-Eifel Nature Park and the Ardennes to Troisvierges. It is part of the RAVeL network (French: Réseau Autonome de Voie Lentes), which is a trail network for walkers, riders and cyclists in the Belgian Wallonie and was launched in October 1995. In German-speaking countries, the hiking and cycling path was named Vennbahn and is classified in its total length as a premium cycle path.
The cycling and walking path is adopted by numerous cyclists, skaters and hikers and the neighboring communities promise to increase the local tourism in the future. This is supported by the fact that already some former station buildings have been converted into service areas, hotels and boarding houses are set up for day trippers and local public transport offers so-called bicycle buses as shuttle service. In the course of 2013, between Roetgen and Kalterherberg, seven steel houses were built in the form of a "lost wagon" intended for weather protection or a resting place.

Vennbahn Near Lammersdorf

Highlight • Cycleway

The Vennbahn is a former railway, largely converted into a cycle path since 2006, between Luxembourg and Germany. In between, the Vennbahn runs through the Eastern Cantons, which were assigned to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles, partly over a narrow Belgian corridor through Germany.
