Great old railway bridge with subsequent tunnel. An experience.

The Lion Castle The Löwenburg above the half-timbered village of Monreal is a so-called spur castle and was first mentioned in a document in 1229. Count Hermann III von Virneburg is considered to be the builder of the Löwenburg. According to tradition, he is said to have built the complex on the property of his brother Philipp following a division agreement. However, the resulting disputes between the brothers were later resolved and Philip assigned his rights to the region to his brother. Today, large parts of the Löwenburg are still preserved, which give a good impression of how stately the castle once looked. First and foremost, the remains of the 25 meter high keep with its three meter thick walls are visible from afar. The high entrance to the imposing keep faces towards the valley and is therefore strategically located on the side facing away from the enemy. The tower is also freely accessible as a viewing tower.

Very beautiful bridge over the Elzbach in Monreal. The bridge is the middle of three historic stone bridges in the town. On the bridge is the impressive sight from the 15th century, the Lion Monument. The four lions carved in basalt are among the most important monuments of their kind in the Rhineland due to their uniqueness. On the other side of the bridge is the statue of John of Nepomuk, who also gave the bridge its name "John's Bridge". Beautiful!

The cycle path itself is awesome and recommendable, but the two tunnels are a real highlight! Don't forget to take off your sunglasses before entering, otherwise it will be very dark for a short time 😎. The temperature suddenly drops by a few degrees and I froze for a really short time 🥶. Please stay on your (right) side when driving through, as many drive through the tunnel without headlights!

The narrow streets of Monreal, its quaint Holy Trinity Church, the massive Nepomuk Bridge over the clear Elzbach and the ruins of Löwenburg and Philippsburg castles high above the town are a beautiful destination in the eastern Eifel. The red and white half-timbered houses nestle closely together, and the four-gabled house from the 15th century in particular transports walkers into a fairytale past. https://www.eifel.info/a-monreal

Trekking moderately super, otherwise rather boring to drive... But an impressive building

Riding a bike into a tunnel is a completely different feeling than driving a car or train. Kind of unique. I'm not claustrophobic, yet I'm relieved every time I'm outside.

As always: temporarily closed for bat protection! I liked this tour: Vulkanpark cycle path Andernach, Mayen 2019_05_01 smart https://www.komoot.de/tour/65128467
