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.

After the international Vennbahn had been decommissioned, it was decided to make one of the longest Bahntrassenradwege Europe. He leads over 130 kilometers from Germany via Belgium to Luxembourg and crosses the borders several times.

The bike path is very well developed, paved almost everywhere, and relics of the former railway were carefully integrated. For example, you can drive on a section with a trolley. In addition, old railway buildings were partially revived, in which one opened, for example, a museum.

Above all, East Belgium hopes for a boost of soft tourism through the Vennbahnradweg.
