Quiet, wild, romantic and action-packed: the Eifel National Park has an abundance of natural beauty. This vast nature area has countless possibilities for wonderful bike Tours between reservoirs, forests, stream valleys and historical places.

In this Collection, we present 14 Tours through the hilly landscape in and around the Eifel National Park. Water plays a special role here, as you encounter it in every form on the way. Cool your feet in crystal-clear streams, jump into reservoirs, or just gaze at a glistening lake. Most of these biodiverse shores are protected and offer calming serenity.

Choose between easy, short Tours and longer loops with tough climbs. Enjoy wide views from the Eifel heights, cycle through natural valleys like the Kalltal, ride over impressive dams at the Rursee, and let yourself be enchanted by towns like Monschau.

Conveniently, you can easily travel to these wild adventures with your bike by bus or train. The Tours start and finish at a bus stop or a train station of the AVV, the Aachener Verkehrsverbund. With our app Naveo, you can easily check the timetables and buy tickets.
