    Mountain biking

    The Vennquerbahn branched off in Jünkerath to the north-west from the Eifelbahn in the direction of Belgium and merged into the Vennbahn at Weywertz. In the end it was a single-track, non-electrified branch line. It is often also attributed to the continuing route of the Vennbahn system via Malmedy to Stavelot.

    The railway line was planned as early as 1904, primarily for strategic reasons as an extension of the Dümpelfeld–Hillesheim–Lissendorf railway line with a connection to the Vennbahn line. The double-track branch line Dümpelfeld-Jünkerath-Weywertz was officially opened on July 1, 1912.

    Very scenic route. As it is a former railway line, there are no steep inclines.
